as the birthday week celebrations continue, today I gathered with my BS buddies and they brought the birthday bag, a beautiful card, and cherry pie…

we have used the birthday bag for maybe twenty years… found this old photo from 2014 that has the bag in it, lol…

it used to hold a gift, but at this point in our lives we really don’t need anything, so now it contains a card…

this one was a beautiful painting by one of our group… it is a park bench and represents the bench that my beloved and I would sit on in the Leo Mol Garden during our walks…

happy birthday was sung and we had cherry pie with whipped cream… sooooo delicious;-)…

lots of conversation, laughs, and good eats…

now to be sure I don’t lose the bag before it is needed for the next birthday…

had a sweet snack tonight…

pistachios and a few pieces of a Lindt chocolate bar…

just this morning someone commented about how well I am watching my sugar intake…

and then I ate cake at lunch;-(… it was a small piece, but I ate the whole thing…

I don’t care much for cake… my mom always made cherry pie for my birthday, lol… but this cake was amazing…

birthday…

today is my birthday;-)…

I love birthdays, mine and everyone else’s… I like presents too… they don’t need to be big or expensive… 

I enjoy the birthday song being sung over the phone, or in person, or nowadays by text… when my kids were little I’d sing it to them the number of years they were turning… eventually you can’t sing it enough times in the day, lol.. 

last night my BS friends brought birthday cherry pie and presents… so this morning I enjoyed the last piece of the pie with my breakfast…

I’ve never been a cake lover…

busy at work but there was time to spend with visitors, who also brought treats – chips and a lovely purple water bottle… and answer some of the birthday calls and texts that came throughout the day…

purple tipped flowers from my colleagues with a fun balloon and card… one of our traditions is to circulate a card that everyone adds comments to for the celebrant… always a gift to read the kind notes included…

was going to order from SkipTheDishes but made leftover turkey dinner instead, one of my favourite meals…

then had a treat, lol…

had some loose tea in my new left-handed the wall tea cup… works really well and the tea I’d picked up recently at one of the Farmers Markets is delicious – it is similar to one of our all time favourites that was discontinued a number of years ago… and chips with two types of chocolate bars – my favourite Aschenti Cacao 79% with Sea Salt, and one of the bars we picked up in Mazatlan – a Ritter bar that had rum, nuts and fruit in it…

I mean, I’d been good all day, and it is my birthday, lol…

thinking back to a delicious piece of chocolate cake we found and shared by the Flatiron building in New York last year on my birthday…

really was one of the best pieces of cake I’ve ever eaten…

a great day to be alive…
