Had a grand time with
Sandy
in
Will be going to Vegas that latter part of this
month, and then to I urge you, in fact, I insist, that you visit with Sandy in Bern. She is the best hostess ever, especially with her gourmet cooking. We dined on the finest cuisines, including "tempura flowers," an exquisite delight! On July 4th, so I won't feel homesick, she grilled (in the oven mind you!) BBQ, collard greens and cabbage, yams with ginger and potatoes with butter. Take care. Love, Gwen |
