Our First First Cousin is XC

Happy Birthday to John B. Van Sickle.

Our mother Marian and his father John R. were siblings.

Of course I knit him a hat!

Birthday Bouquets for Partygoers

And Flowers Pittsburgh is a local small business. Thursday evening I met Karen Toole, who along with a team of seven, arranged more than 75 bouquets of colorful flowers for the occasion!

Everyone got to take home a pretty bouquet that adorned my friend’s birthday celebration.

I learned you can host a flower arranging party for 5-10 friends or attend a floral design class in their studio.

Creme Brûlée with an edible chocolate birthday wish.
Vincie got me little wrapped presents! Chocolate. I washed this forgotten candy dish in my China cabinet.

Happy birthday to me😂
