Happy New Week all.
Big surprise this morning!!! Heard a knock on the front door at 8:15 and thought it was the neighbor who'd just had a load of bricks delivered to their driveway, but NO!! It was my granddaughter, with a basket of flowers, champagne, scones she'd baked plus jars of lemon and raspberry curd on a spur-of-the-moment trip to celebrate my birthday early!! I was amazed and thrilled. She had a few days off what with shift changes, etc., and since we don't get to spend a lot of "just us" time, she decided to drive here to spend a day with me and OH without the rest of the family buzzing about. She even made dinner reservations at our favorite restaurant in Montecito! You can't believe how thrilled I was - and so happy - what a special treat. She's off to her Mom's tomorrow (daughter is not aware she's in town at all, so that'll be another unexpected treat) and they'll spend the day together before she drives back to Arizona on Monday. So happy!
Will respond to posts tomorrow, but in the meantime, take care everyone. :-)))))
Good morning all. Annette what a lovely pre-birthday surprise. Have a great day and enjoy your meal.
Lynette I was so sorry to read a out your friend. I hope the treatment will help to prolong his life. Cancer is such an awful disease and so many lives changed. Just hope that eventually more cures can be found.
ANNETTE - What a great surprise and what a lovely thing for your granddaughter to do. Please send a scone and curd asap. I don't mind which, either lemon or raspberry :-)
Good morning all

Annette, What a loving, thoughtful granddaughter you have, An unplanned celebration are often the best. I, too, would love a share of the the scones and curds. Her Mum is also going to be thrilled by her unexpected visitor.
