She made him this special Japanese shortcake with cream filling and strawberries. She insisted on giving me a large piece. It was so good that I didn't want to eat anything else and take the taste out of my mouth.

See how she is dressed? Looks okay to me.

It looked very nice. We had it at the Owatonna Gun Club, which was a great spot. I loved the way it was set up.

I never got a piece of these cakes because I was so full after the Japanese shortcake, which was very dense and filling.

My nephew's wild and crazy bunch of friends. Nice kids. There was a lot of quoting from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"--so they are intelligent as well as goofy.
