Oh Boy Did we have a Party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 So this "cucu" (granddaughter in bahasa Indonesia) - why? Because from the moment we arrived she has called us Oma & Opa!  This cucu (chew-chew)  Jessica is a very special one...!  She says to us.."Let's have a fun evening before you go OK?  Can we have some friends over your house?  OK...sounds good Jess!"  Then the day before she comes by and says..."no let's have it at Biztro instead" 

Oh!Oh! ...we thought - hmm what is cucu up to????  You can see on that smile & face...when we arrived at Biztro..."OK....Cucu...what's happening girl?"

 She smiled and told us to go ahead and order something.  We were handed a menu....OK Jessica we will do that too!

 


 
Then Linda walks in!  "Hey Hi There Linda...glad to see you!"
