Happy Birthday, rueful!

[kissmekate]

What's on offer today, Chef Patissier? You know, it is rueful's birthday. She's a lady of excellent taste, and I can't just go and give her some supermarket chocolates. It has to be something special, something classy and beautiful, and nicely wrapped, too, like they did in the old times, so she'll love unwrapping it almost as much as she'll love actually savouring the contents ...


Chef Patissier: Lady Rueful, may I present our one-off special birthday treat? Classy and beautiful and nicely wrapped. Just like they did in the old times, when men still knew how to dress really, really smart.


And wait till you actually get to unwrap your gift!

Happy, happy birthday, dear rueful! Hope you have a lovely, sunny, enjoyable day to start off into a fantastic new year in your life.

Lots of love,
Kate

Rueful promised me a play a year ago and she hasn't finished it yet, so I won't go to her birthday party! No. No. No!




The truth is, Dominique,...well...Rueful has written that play, but...the dog ate it.




Oh come on, Dominique, she'll write another one, come, let's go to the party and have fun.




All right, I'll go, but the new role she will write for me be bigger and better and.......bigger!


Happy Birthday!




Is this the ending? Really?


I wouldn't call it fair play.


Let's see some acting!!





Oh, Rueful's perfect birthday cake - beautiful and delicious - the epitome of sweet desire...luscious, vanilla-smelling dream...




...But the dog ate it.




Happy Birthday, Rueful!

smiley_flwrsThank all of you so much for your friendship and good wishes!!!  You always make me feel special!   Thanks for all the beautiful pictures too. I love them! What a fantastic way to start my weekend, to come here and look at my own personal Rufuses:
Chocolate Rufus, I'm glad you unwrapped him, my hands would have been shaking too much! (Is he like the Easter Bunny, should I start by nibbling his ears or....?)
Garden Gnome Rufus, If he was in my garden I'd spend more time weeding. Or maybe not.
Melodramatic Rufus,  Fantastic play! Dominque is lucky you decided to take over and write for him, Adina. I could never have written dialog as touching and tragic as the Dog and Cake scene!*  
Winking Rufus, oh how I love Romer and his slow blink!
"Morning After" Zen Rufus, for very obvious reasons

This is a thread I'll be visiting often, I think! 




*I'm sorry to tell you that the title Illuminata is a reference to the many, many candles on
your cake! Thank goodness the poor dog does not suffer a wax allergy.
