A Pirate Looks Back At 50

With immense gratitude I'm wrapping up another sober decade and beginning a new one.  Working today hopefully finishing a nice project in Tampa, and it's going to be wonderful day in the 70's.  The wife's family wanted to give me a party, but I haven't had a birthday party since I was 20 and after looking at a bunch of pictures, of my school friends, having their parties It didn't look like that much fun to me.  biggrin

Aloha Dean....Do something absolutely memorable for yourself today so that of
course you will be able to remember your 50th.  Later on your forgetter takes over
and well....been there and done that and would like to remember it but...you know?
Well no you don't know you're just a baby still.  Do something memorable and legal.

Have a great one.   smile

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! If a party isn't your thing, you BETTER find a way to let others celebrate you. Fifty is the new Fourty, which is the new Thirty, which basically means that we are all living longer and don't know what to do with ourselves. ENJOY!!!!

Jerry I'm so blessed that I can't even think of anything I'd rather do then taking my wife, in the convertible , to beach for dinner. I just doesn't get any better. smile.gif

Happy first day of you 51st year, and no no smartie pants words out of me on that one....been there done that..:)

Have to tell you, I read this late last night, and what has occupied way to much of my thinking is

pie MANGO Key Lime...

Toodles, Toni  even just with this little face...biggrin
all I can see is a smiling lime......ok, enough....
blankstareoh well what about a confused mango to go with it.

Uncle!!!!!!!!!!

I wish that I could send one of these Publix (grocery store) brand mango keylime pies to you and Jerry. words can't describe.  how good they taste.  It's worth a trip to FL.  Remember Publix for yummy pies.  lol Something that's equally as yummy, that you probably can get is a carrot cake from Sam's Club. Omg, the cream cheese icing on that two layer cake is everywhere. hungry.gif

No there isn't any Publix in Nebraska. You see I'm in charge of the research and development department of a bakery. And we are in the early stages of getting their business. Right now, it is for the Holiday Fruitcake line.

Don't laugh, we make an incredible Christmas fruitcake. But I have developed other fruitcakes which are also in the process of hopefully selling to them. Cranberry-Orange, Gingerbread Pear, and a Hazelnut Peach.

But what really is starting to take hold is a liquor cake line I developed - without the liquor. A typical liquor cake is injected after baking with booze... to keep it "real" so in fact you could get drunk eating them. My cakes do not get injected and after baking all that is left is the taste - not the booze. It really is a glorified pound cake. But I've developed some odd flavors. A Mexican Mocha cake... that when you first take a bite you get a lot of chocolate... but after you swallow you get the "hot" taste of Cheyenne pepper.

Just the fruitcake line will provide my company with over 50,000 pounds of cake... which is roughly ten days production...
