My BIrthday Report - No Cake or Candles

Well yesterday, November 22, was my birthday. Tom didn't whip up a cake but it was a good day! He had
flowers for me and a DVD of the complete seventh season of "Everybody Loves Raymond".

As usual on weekends we hopped in our auto to see the sites. We stayed close, within 30 miles, finding some great scenery and stopped for lunch. My choice of course, I needed a taste of America, McCafe! European McDonald's are nicer and more expensive than the U.S. A Big Mac, large fries (its was my special day) and a mocha for dessert were really rather tasty.

In the evening Tom had invited Paul, Luddy, Gabby and Ullie (our landlords) to go out for dinner with us. They surprised me with a champagne toast and poinsetta. Really nice folks to celebrate with.
