So I had my annual birthday MOCKTAIL party. The female guests brought hors devours and I supplied the bar contents. A HIT!! Used music from the era of Frank Sinatra and Etta James. p.s. that is a candy cigarette in Jeannie's mouth. Doesn't she look tough? 
I liked my presents. People know me. I got all kitchen gifts. 2 cookbooks from Kendall and Jeannie, darling ramekins from Karen, a sweet apron from Tanya, miniture utensils from Annie, tea towels from Chris, handerchiefs/napkins with my initials from Kendall. Marie gave me some $ with which I bought my party shoes. A co-worker Lauren gave me a lovely orchid. Martha gave me some candy and a pineapple. Some fancy grapejuice from Tony Caputo's from Kiera. I am RICH in friends.
