Turning 90!

Last night Bruce and I went to his aunt's 90th birthday party at the Manor Casual Bistro downtown (it's used to be called the Manor Cafe). We were supposed to have been seated on the main floor as Auntie Eileen has bad knees and has troubles with stairs. When we got there they had us upstairs in the private party room (that's what was originally booked until we found out there was no elevator). They said they'd change us to the main room but I guess they forgot. Anyway, with a little help from family, Eileen was able to get upstairs. Our waiter was a little pretentious, he knew everything about everything and told you it all! Did you know that Doritos are made with corn syrup and MSG?! And did you know that Molson's owns all the hops crops or something like that and they won't sell you any if you're a micro-brewery?! Oh and did you know the Earl of Grey...blah, blah, blah. No kidding, at the beginning of the evening he hardly talked and by the end of the evening you couldn't shut him up! Anyway, the meal was delicious and Eileen is such a sweet lady! Her memory is so sharp and she loves to tell her stories. I hope if I make it to 90 I turn out just as wonderful as she has!!!
