Well I have a birthday dinner with some girlfriends tonight, so I will be sure to bring this to their attention! Maybe we should all have Bloody Mary's! lol
ReplyDeleteJo-Jo: oh my, that's perfect! Just don't order anyone's head chopped off and you should have a great night!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding us of this.
ReplyDeleteAnother great post. Oh, and yesterday was my son's birthday!
ReplyDeleteI just nominated you for your blog (come check my site:)
February is a huge month for the Tudors -- getting born, getting beheaded . . .
ReplyDeleteThey never look very happy in their pictures do they?
ReplyDeleteI think the old children's nursery rhyme "Mary Mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow" has something to do with Mary Tudor, as I recall. I always felt sorry for her.
