Glad that strawberry sundaes have a day of their own, but like chocolate, strawberry sundaes need no excuse. One of those things that if God had invented anything better, she kept it to herself.
Young Elvis … oh my, oh my 😉

Glad today appealed to your sweet tooth Chuck, and Young Elvis gave Joy a flutter.
And thanks for the tunes JoF!
