After dinner we had a nice time hanging around and talking, while we waited to get hungry for dessert.
Max asked if he could try some of the Chardonnay, and Janet obliged him. (It's ok, Max is of legal age for an Ortolan.)
This year, my birthday was the day after Thanksgiving. Janet and Shaene made me a birthday cake. Since all they had available was a meatloaf pan, they decided to go all the way and make it LOOK LIKE A MEATLOAF. That's it on the left.
We read a storybook called A Friend for Dragon, about this blue dragon who makes friends with an apple. The apple always listens patiently to everything Dragon has to say. But after a while it seems to be shriveling, so Dragon takes it to the doctor. The doctor, being a storybook walrus, calmly eats the apple while Dragon's back is turned. Once the core turns brown, Dragon assumes it's dead. Grieving piteously, he buries it. Of course, the next year, there's a beautiful tree growing there full of new friends.
Oddly enough, Max and Tigger bumped into this vegetable-form alien they happen to know, and he made a holiday call to his mom back on Vegetablania 6. He was able to teleport home for a visit shortly thereafter.
Then they wanted to talk to Max about some old orbital parking tickets.
This is my finished birthday platter. With the red cake coloring on top of it, the cake really does resemble a meatloaf! The melting ice cream with caramel sauce is supposed to be mashed potatoes and gravy to go with it. Also note the little turkey confection, and the inscribed apple.
Airplane hats! Just what the well-appointed airline traveller is wearing these days.
(In the second picture Tigger is holding up two fingers up behind Max's head, in case that's hard to interpret.)
