Minou

 Today is Ron's birthday, and he has only opened his first gift, a little birdhouse I was lucky enough to find at The Primitive Barn in Sinking Spring before it closed forever, so sad. So, I'll have more about that later. Baked him a carrot cake from scratch using my Candlelight and Wisteria cookbook from the girls' academy down south. But, he got me Minou, Annette Himstedt's little Corsican girl I've wanted for thirty years. She and Tara were the first Himmies I'd ever seen at Bear Trax in Bethel Park, next to BORDERS, and they are gone too. Tara was my first Himstedt, now I have a dozen. Ron had asked if I was finally satisfied, and I told him not, I wanted a proper coven. I have the Spanish gypsy, Aura, but I want the Hungarian, Munira, too...  For now, I'm delighted with the gorgeous Minou!
