It's left over from hubby's birthday, and since I'm counting calories, I figured I'd have to have it in place of a meal instead of after one.<br /><br />Congratulations, Jen!

The wait staff is pretty easy on the eye.<br /><br />I do need to make one clarification about the book... even though my grandma is the inspiration for Izzy's grandma, the book doesn't go into lots of detail about her dancing. It's Izzy's story, after all. But today, it's just fun to share some stuff with you about MY grandma :+)Jennifer AlLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18178922554247015759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-35274023969431693762012-10-29T13:53:31.597-04:002012-10-29T13:53:31.597-04:00Oh, DeAnna, you mentioned film noir.

Grandma was part of a dance troup that travelled around the country. She was only 15 when she joined, but she lied about her age to be allowed in. One of the publicity stunts they did was to have a race down the main street of a certain town. Sounds easy, but the race was on pointeJennifer AlLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18178922554247015759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-21228318287937965102012-10-29T13:30:50.614-04:002012-10-29T13:30:50.614-04:00I agree, Medieival Girl...

That is just so wrong to have to subject yourself to that on a big day like this. ugh!<br /><br />I can't wait to read Jen's book either, Susie.

Okay, maybe it's a little early for that. Let's go cheese, fruit, and whole grain crackers. And coffee of course. Plenty of coffee.<br /><br />All this partying does make me happy, though.

I'm having a hard time holding off on that chocolate cake. <br /><br />This monster storm, 1000 miles wide of tropical storm and hurricane force winds sent us to the west coast but it really feels just right given Jen's grandmother's part of the celebration.
