They do deserve it, and I hope they will soon see what everyone else sees!
Not only would they make a good team, but if Spenser sets them up in their own shop dedicated to car restorations, I bet they would make a lot of money for Spenser, Joe and Charlie.
Wow! @drsawzall, I didn't know that you were so knowledgeable in cars. I'm very impressed! You should get together with @Geron Kees. He also is a car enthusiast. I have learned a lot about antique cars and restorations between Craig and Geron, although the cars are from different sides of the Atlantic.
Happy New Year to you, @Lee Wilson! Even if I could spell it, I definitely couldn't pronounce it. Chinese kids in my class were laughing for weeks after I taught a lesson on Zheng He. My pronunciation of the name was a bit naughty to their ears.
Very upbeat indeed, @Bill W! With all the crap happening in the world, working with @Mancunian, tracking down those pesky commas and putting them in their place, has helped lift my spirits constantly!
Sorry, @Jkeeletupelo. You'll have to wait until next year. However, I suggest you swipe a piece of the cake before it's eaten. The fact the boys have been so busy is probably the main reason that Stacy was able to keep the party secret. The new friends the boys have made were earned by the boys' actions and polite behaviours. The boys' willingness to help others has endeared them to many.
It is a great chapter to end the year, @akascrubber. I do love a great party like this. It sure cheered up both Michael and Charlie. I can't wait to find out what happens next, but we will have to wait until next year to find out. 😄
In Mancunian's Boot World, there is a lot of tragedy but also hope. I agree 100 % with you, this story is beautiful and will make a great read for the holidays, @Gary L.
Hi, Clo! I love eating a fresh baguette of French Sourdough warm from the oven. I don't worry about killing it since it would die before I start. My baking skills are non-existent. I just go to the local French bakery, Dominique Bakery, to pick up my order and enjoy!
I had a great time! I wasn't expecting to enjoy it much, but it was a lot of fun. Here are two pics. First one is the birthday girl and me. The second is a portion of the stage during one of the shows. There were 5 bands and dance groups performing in rotation all evening long. The sets and costumes for them changed for each set. The third pic is of the full stage and one of the performance sets.
Thank you, @Summerabbacat! I wish you also a Happy New Year. As a fellow animal person, I hope the best for Kiki and Zelda. I have had several faithful cats and dogs in my life, so I also know how an animal like Missy can contribute to a party. Also, I like your tastes in music.
