As Winter Ends..
Mai Tai .. for TMG's
It may not be often that I would be willing to exchange four of my daily POINTS* for one fabulous cocktail.. however
enjoying a beautiful caribbean delight like we have here, right down to the fresh pineapple, fresh mint, and maraschino
cherry would certainly be a reward for a week well done... and of course the added touch of the paper
umbrella and orchid, takes me back just one more time, in my mind to a vacation I won't want to forget.
Celebrations, call for special "measures".. ENJOY - TMG-style.
