    Judith! That's priceless!!

    I always thought 5 or 10 minutes was overkill, but 70 years?

    She would also require her Readers Digest delivered on a goldleaf tray.

    Ed; we have to take our humor where we find it and you did indeed find it.  It took me a minute to pick up on the pun. 

    It reminds me of when we were in England; we were there when for a fee, Buckingham Palace was open to visitors.  It was a wonderful guideless tour where we wandered about up and downstairs amongst so much art and riches . . . as we entered the room where the two thrones were, I saw there were cushions on each of them, and much to my internal humor, each pillow had the imprint of the buttocks of the ones who had been sitting on them - The Queen and Prince Phillip - for some reason, I found this terribly, terribly funny but kept my cool and did not burst out laughing, but did wonder why they did not plump up the pillows.

    I actually check on the Queen every morning as part of my online routine. I do not know when I started or why.

    Yesterdays new was she has a new dog...a cocker spaniel she named Lissy.

    He she is cutting/stabbing her cake to mark the beginning of the celebration. She is a Sandringham in the cottage...note: she has her purse but it is an informal "tote".

    That must have been one fascinating magazine! On a related topic, my husband can spend an endless amount of time in the bathroom. Sometimes, when he finally comes out, he’s holding his clothes, which he puts in the washing machine. They’re wet and/or soiled. I wonder how long he will be taking care of this himself.

    Hm-m-m; by the looks of it, I don't think she has cut many cakes before.  Judith; she has the same color hair we have!  At least my new pandemic dandelion gone to seed hair color.  Sigh.
