    You have to show that you can climb the hill, thinks Arthur…to prove that you’re not already over it.

    Is Arthur related to the old Duke of York:“The great old Duke of York,he had ten thousand men,he lend them up to the top of the hilland he led them down again.And when they were up they were up,And when they were down they were down,And when they were only halfway up,they were neither up nor down.”

    The above ditty was learned 50+ years ago when I was a Brownie. Just don’t ask me the name of the woman my stepson is marrying today.

    Arthur went up the hill, but came down a mountain!

    You call that a hill? Why, when I was young, I climbed a mountain to go to Brownies. (I have the Mountain Climbing Badge to prove it, so there!)Arthur and Mabel need to get a reality check. :-P

    @Bev I had Daughter watch Walker Run and she Loved it! She had me send it to her so she could email it to all her doggie lovin’ friends.Best video of the Day Award!They had a black Lab named Kona who would race around our house and jump flat out into the spa. You couldn’t take a bath without her trying to get in.

    BEV, I think I may still have a Nancy Drew book somewhere around. But the Brownie book is something else. I loved it.

    Sorry I’m late…. the bakery truck broke down on the way.

    Bev… your tea and cake will be served by somebody special, who came in on his night off, just to be here for your birthday…

    Along with a Tiki bartender who volunteered on his night off too….

    I had a lot more food to post… but everybody’s gone to bed, and I dozed off myself…and I’m also having some technical issues.

    So…. I’m going to leave you all with some breakfast things to tide you over till I get back tomorrow.The Tiki NEVER closes.Breakfast 24/7 every day….and here’s a special breakfast buffet for Bev’s Birthday:

    Of course, there’s lots left of what StelBel brought, as well…and tons of cake….

    I’m having some problems with image hosting….so I don’t know whether this card will stay posted…. but I have to try….

    Good night…. see you later….

    I’m no YOUTUBEr, but I will on occasion tune in to TCM on demand. Yesterday morning, I killed part of a gruelling 3 & a half hours at the auto dealership watching Dr. Kildare’s Strange Case in real time on the web. I didn’t think I’d take that long to do an oil change. I got to the dealership 25 minutes before it opened for business and there were still about 10 cars ahead of me. In hindsight, I’m glad I took my tablet.

    I PLANNED to do a whole lot of food and drink images(as Bev usually does those)But Stel and Susan did such a splendid job and I don’t have the talents of many of you. I DID at least wish a Happy B-Day on Daddy’s before the rest (as I’m pretty sure Tony would want to know).

    I just got home from my regular weekend a while ago (hope I get to move soon).

    Bev… I think those were XTI brownies you noticed holding up that pizza back there…they usually hide from having their pictures taken.

    The photographer must have gotten them by surprise…or it was someone they trust.
