Dear Susan,
All your friends and family find you to be a true delight and jewel. No one could be more devoted or such a good friend. Besides, you are always so much fun even when times are tough.
I send you all my love on this your day!!
Since it is your Special Day I think some of the glory of it spilled over on me. I feel like a human being for the first time since about 2006. A miracle I can only thank you for. That is, I felt human until Paul got me mad about 3 minutes ago. Send me some more of your Birthday Vibes, to counteract Big Biscuits for me, OK?

Paul and I got a gift today. It is an adorable kitty meant to inspire me to eat more. Even though our Shangri-La is a perfect home for it in many ways I am not certain we can properly entertain Tootsie, our new frisky feline. Besides, Paul seems a tad shy with her. I know that both you and Brad are Serious KatPeople so may we take the liberty of shipping Tootsie to either you in Dallas or to Brad in Frisco? Besides, Paul Edmund is a delectable bon bon. Trouble may be brewing.

PS Your birthday costume is a marvel. I know your son, Brad, has fantabulous artistic inclinations. Did he do your makeup?

Dear Judy,
Thank you for the darling birthday card! I am so excited to hear that you are feeling so much better. I tell you what--that "Emory's Jungle Juice" ( http://mizflounce.blogspot.com/search?q=jungle+juice ) has certainly been worth it's weight in gold. Too bad you had to waste time and feeling so miserable with the chemo when we all know it had to be the juice!
I had a nice birthday even though I am now a year older. To celebrate I applied for my Social Security! Also, my neighbor made me over. Foto attached. Quite the Babe, eh?
I'm not sending out Christmas cards this year so just want to say "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year". I know that you will have a wonderful Christmas since Jan and the kids are coming with Jeff soon to follow. I hope that you have a nice "peaceful" time all together. We are looking forward to Brad's arrival on Sunday and hopefully Mom and Dad will follow early next week. This will be a very laid back Christmas but very joyful. We are going to see our new granddaughter on 12/31 and can't wait to meet her.
Love you and miss you--hope to come up to see you for a few days in January before I have the knee replacement in February.
Love you.
Suzie
PS What is the recipe for your fabulous cranberry sauce?
********************************8
Dear Susan,
You are looking good! Did you apply fertilizer or something to your chest area? And what about those new luscious lips? Must be all the cranberry sauce you have, no doubt, been inhaling.
Here are your recipes!
Love you so much,
Judy
Cranberry-Orange Sauce
Makes about 2 1/4 cups
The cooking time in this recipe is intended for fresh berries. If you've got frozen cranberries, do not defrost them before use; just pick through them and add about 2 minutes to the simmering time. Orange juice adds little flavor, but we found that zest and liqueur pack the orange kick we were looking for in this sauce.
INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1 (12-ounce) bag cranberries , picked through
2 tablespoons orange liqueur (such as Triple Sec or Grand Marnier)
Bring water, sugar, orange zest, and salt to boil in medium nonreactive saucepan over high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar. Stir in cranberries; return to boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until saucy, slightly thickened, and about two-thirds of berries have popped open, about 5 minutes. Off heat; stir in orange liqueur. Transfer to nonreactive bowl, cool to room temperature, and serve. (Can be covered and refrigerated up to 7 days; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before serving.)
Cranberry Sauce with Pears and Fresh Ginger
Makes about 2 1/4 cups
The cooking time in this recipe is intended for fresh berries. If you've got frozen cranberries, do not defrost them before use; just pick through them and add about 2 minutes to the simmering time.
INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1 (12-ounce) bag cranberries , picked through
2 medium firm, ripe pears , peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
Bring water, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and salt to boil in medium nonreactive saucepan over high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar. Stir in cranberries and pears; return to boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until saucy, slightly thickened, and about two-thirds of berries have popped open, about 5 minutes. Transfer to nonreactive bowl, cool to room temperature, and serve. (Can be covered and refrigerated up to 7 days; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before serving.)
Cranberry Sauce
Fresh cranberries freeze very well. Buy 12-ounce packages any time you find them in the market and throw them in the freezer. You can cook them without defrosting. For a simple cranberry relish, just bring 3/4 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to boil in a medium nonreactive saucepan over high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar. Stir in cranberries; return to boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until saucy, slightly thickened, and about two-thirds of berries have popped open, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a nonreactive bowl, cool to room temperature, and serve or store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
Dear Judy,
Is feeling like a human being a good thing?
