... Other than that everthang's fine. I've eaten too many lunches at the Old Stage Restaurant; the pie the pie the pie...that man, Mike, can bake. I watched a woman in the next booth eating her pie. She was with 2 friends. The waitress came by to ask how things were, and she asked specifically about the pie. The woman with her mouth full of pie couldn't answer, but one of her friends explained She's purring like a kitten. She wasn't the only one. So, I'm sending mental/dream pie to you for your birthday. I hope you have a good time, whatever you do. I hear Blinky in the garbage, I'd better go investigate.

p.s. Katy sent me an amazingly wonderful CD by Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris called All The Roadrunning. Usually I have to listen to a CD several times before I know whether or not I like it. This one only took one listen.

Do I get to have cheesecake with you in NY? Usually I have to listen to a CD a few times before I like it, too. Hope you had a great day!

The pie looks great and I'm a big fan of Ugly Doll stuff. What I like most in that picture, however, is the fork with the green thingy on its handle. Very Linda!!! Happy Birthday!

The uglydoll looks like he's planning to steal a bite from the tart as soon as no one's looking...

Thank you!

Cheryl: You're on.

Stray: Of course you get to have cheesecake with us. You're letting me stay in your luxurious room, remember? Plus I think you & Cheryl will really hit it off.

Katy: My birthday was the best ever. Tom had asked me what I wanted to do on my birthday the day before and I had said, "Work at my computer." So he got up and went to the farmers' market before I rilly woke up. He went to gather good food, and I worked in bliss at my computer until about 4:00. Then since the tide was high we went to the polo field and walked around in circles. Then we came home and not only did Tom make dinner (pesto ravioli with fresh tomato/garlic/olive oil sauce and a salad/great avocados, stuff like that ... birthday pie, chocolate from Deb and Eric, and a bottle of Sofia) but he also cleaned up the mess. I had a clear mind because my sister was visiting my mom. (That was a very good present in itself.) It was a good filling to fill rilly good on my birthday. I listened to the CD. I can't get the song "I Dug Up a Diamond" out of my mind.
