Cheers!

While Julie was affixing stars to the ceiling and doing a pale imitation of Madonna, Ted made family dinner. (Family dinner means we all eat together at the table, instead of just Joe and Clara with Ted and Julie eating later, usually on the TV trays). Joe and Clara's Great Aunt Susie sent Ted and Julie some wine as a surprise (and what a lovely surprise!) so Ted poured some and after we'd all sat down, he asked who wanted to say "Cheers!" Joe loves this some he was quick to get in on that action. But Clara is never, but never one to be left out or behind or dismissed in any way. She wasted no time in raising her little plastic cup. Here's to Birdie's first raising of her glass (cup?!)!
