Second Birthday Celebration

Uncategorized 1 Minute

The second birthday party was marvelous. I always enjoy neighbors Shawn and Bob, and they doubled the pleasure by inviting their relatives. If they had asked me to nominate other guests, these two are the ones I would have chosen. I never see enough of these fun people. I am unilaterally going to make them honorary neighbors, a great addition to the world’s best neighborhood.

We ate spaghetti, followed by chocolate cake. The food and conversation were superb. It was lovely to sit in a room with a Christmas tree and artful decorations, while a slide show of snowy landscapes was displayed on a large screen. Add a friendly dog, and the party was almost complete. The only thing missing was Logan, who was working as a dishwasher at his brother’s restaurant.

Delicious cake!

I took a few lame photos. Bob had some excellent shots, which he shared with me, but I couldn’t use them because the format was different. Given more time, I might have found a solution. Thus ended my spectacular birthday celebrations of 2024. I am grateful.

  6. You are blessed with good neighbors, friends and family and I know you rejoice for all three. And now … it is almost time for Christmas. Santa is in Aruba as I write this. 🙂

      1. I kept the NORAD tab open last night and was popping in/out of it. They were mentioning it on the news every so often as well. I think that is a fun feature and kids must really get a kick out of watching where Santa is and when they’ll arrive in their state. The NORAD office is staffed with many people. Last night on Twitter/X, they showed the room where the NORAD staff answer the phone (lots of kids calling in to ask about Santa’s whereabouts) (I hope it is a toll-free call). 🙂

          1. Well, it started very early! Why am I waking up at 5:30 on Christmas 🌞 I don’t know except that my internal clock just works that way. Peace and joy, Anne! Can’t wait to hear about your day as well!
