Well, it is late and I had a wonderful 40th birthday. Pictured is my special Fornasetti lacquer tray, a birthday present from my husband, which I admired long before I knew the significance of killing it. I’m fixin’ to mount this puppy right above the opening between the kitchen and the dining room. I think it will fend off anyone or anything that doesn’t belong in my house. Yeah?

This is my Izzy with me, my little hip hop diva.

Peace be with you.  Good night.
