Just Humor Me!

My book is done and at the printers. We had a bottle of champagne with our steak and (home grown) roasted potatoes, plus a bottle of Syrah. AND, it's a T.G.I.F.

We both know we shouldn't work this afternoon, so pardon all the threads I've pulled up. I'm going to go read my book now and try to stay away from the computer, where I get in trouble on days like this.

CHEERS! Well done, Jean! Let me know when I can place my order!

LOL - there are times when I should stay away from the computer too! Congrats on finishing - I'm sure it is a winner!

Oh! What a book!!
What to do with leftovers,
soon to be on "Nook"
A magical manipulation of do-overs.

A magician she is,
with a mystery box every night.
What can I do with this!?
Why, she makes it work, just right.

Chopped champions should consult
this lady, who is so prolific.
To them it would be no insult
to consider her book, it's terrific!!!

Daphne, the meter is not perfect, but the poem is for our girl, the chef terrific!! Congratulations, Jean (and Roy).

[Gourmet_Mom]

No complaints here, Bill! I think it's perfect! Like you said, it's for our girl! How could it not be the perfect honor! Well done! Whoooo! Whooooo! Whooooo!

Nicely done, Bill. I think it's a beautiful tribute.

[Lorraine]

Wow, I'm amazed at you, Bill (you can get carried away anytime!) - what a fantastic gift. and, thank you all, it's always such a good feeling when a book is put to bed.

Glad you asked, Barbara....



Just sent to the printers. Just a P.S. - I designed the cover, but it just wasn't good enough, and our Laura came to my rescue. She manipulated things and just made them pop. Thanks so much Laura!!!
