Happy Diamond Birthday, Bonnie
A special birthday wish for a good friend, blog follower, dog lover (actually all animals) and former colleague. Bonnie! We taught together at Greenfield School.
And we worked the After School Program together for about 5 years. I can’t tell you how many students she taught to swim.
Another of our friends hosted a fun surprise party and we gathered together to honor Bonnie as she celebrates 75!
May your birthday wish come true.
Here’s Bonnie surrounded by former colleagues and friends. Surprise!
Arleen took the one on the left so I could be in it, too. Thanks Arleen.
Happy Birthday Bonnie. Love, Rutie
Baby Charlie Watches Grandpa Chuck’s Birthday Candle Blow Out
Firsts. When you’re only four months old there are so many “firsts” to experience.
This was the first time Charlie saw birthday candles being extinguished.
Everyone sang Happy Birthday.
Eight is Great!
March 21st is grandson John Patrick’s 8th birthday.

The cake’s in the mail – almost- well, after school Monday
Last year or the year before, I forget which year, I didn’t get a birthday card mailed.
But this year………
since it’s my sister’s birthday Monday,
and she’s going to visit our brother and his wife in Okanogon WA on Tuesday,
I thought I’d bake a cake with our mother’s old recipe. The Happy Day Cake. I decided to cook the old fashioned penuche icing, you have to put your hand on the bottom of the pan after it sits in cool water, then add the 10x sugar and beat it, just like our mom did and frost the layers. Tomorrow after school, I’ll ship it off for them to share.
I put it in a tin, packed it up and it’s in the front hall, taped in a box, ready to mail.
It’s a Happy Day Cake recipe from Swan’s Down Cake Flour box from way back. You can see it written in my sister’s hand on a quilt square from the fiftieth anniversary quilt we made for my parents in 1989.
And I put in a pound of Zeke’s coffee beans to go with it. Happy Birthday Mary.
love,
Ruth

Marlene sent a video of the family singing Happy Birthday and I was missing being with them but

Thanks for all the nice birthday greetings and wishes.
Fourth of July Birthday is fun. Then the Daily Post said, how do you celebrate July Fourth and I had already posted this one showing my actual birthday cake.
Weekly Photo Challenge: It’s Your Party
Happy 100th Birthday Dr. Julian Lewin
Wow! This evening I attended a 100th birthday party for my friend Joan’s father.
I brought my camera and had the privilege of photographing him as he blew out the 100 numerals on his cake.
He really liked the books of unexpected animal relationships.
The cake looked pretty and was enjoyed by all.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Foreshadow
A hint, allusion, to something about to happen. Foreshadow. Sounds ominous. Doesn’t have to be.
I remember studying foreshadowing in high school English class. A tough challenge to “nail” this week.
