Bruce and I had a lovely lunch — luncheon, if you prefer. Good food, interesting conversation, and the fellow at the next booth bought our meal! Everyone singing Happy Birthday was a bit of a giveaway, but still very kind and unexpected.

That's so sweet!

Here’s a little bit of it on YouTube.

That was very moving.

The Texas House voting to impeach the criminal Paxton also restores my faith in humanity.

For me, not entirely...but a bit. ::)

Now, whenever I hear the song  When The Red, Red Robin Comes Bob Bob Bobbin’ Along, i only hear it in Cindy’s voice.

Nice.  I always hear Guy Haines' voice. :)

It would've been cool if they could've done a duet.

Paxton is a jerk but what was the straw that made it happen?

Exactly.

And now, I must be off to pick up a fellow cast member, then off to the theater.

Until later!

Read a review of the new Dr Pepper Float ice cream. They liked the product overall, but said it lacked the “peppery” taste of the soda. Huh? Dr Pepper doesn’t taste of pepper.

John G. I think you mentioned reading the new book by Tom Hanks.
He did a great interview with Ari Melber about it.

DR Jane, I forgot to tell you how much I enjoyed reading about Keith’s Williamsburg birthday surprise for you in the holiday letter.
Very cute and clever!

I was looking for watermelon to help my loosen my cough.  I haven't seen any.  Fortunately my cough has loosened up a bit.

While I don't care for Dr. Pepper, I know it does not taste peppery.

Thank you.  It was a wonderful birthday as Williamsburg turned on the Christmas lights just for me ;)

I had been pestering Keith to go see the lights after friends invited us to meet them there and we couldn't go.

It was freezing cold that night.  They had bonfires set up and hot apple cider to help people warm up.

Having made last minute hotel reservations Keith couldn't find any place nice.  His assistant, who had once been a travel agent, was unhappy with where we were staying and found us a nice inn to stay at.  Bless her.

Of course I wanted to eat at the Williamsburg Inn except they, and just about every other restaurant were booked.  I must have called about 20 times to check if they had a cancellation, when to my surprise they did.  To eat there we missed the exact moment the lights went on.  Dinner was delicious and the inn a special place to dine.

After living in Ashland, I know that as exciting as it is to see the lights go on, it was worth missing standing in the freezing cold to have a special birthday dinner.
