this day, May 29, brings joy to our wee home as Neal is another year older (but will never be as old and wise as me).  We celebrated last night since our oldest has a year-end Scout party and my girlfriend has an Usborne book party I may be able to slip over to now that we are all partied out. (plus jury duty turned out to be half interesting, mostly boring, not even over yet and I felt I needed cake).  My man is great, and I am a very blessed woman to have turned his head almost fifteen years ago.

Here he is trying to put the "birthday boy" hat on his head, but, of course, like my mum, Jonam cannot wait for the picture to be set up properly ... he just aims and shoots.

Likewise with the birthday cake below.  Evan decorated this one very happily for his Pa, though he absolutely hated cake decorating classes with all girls (mostly).  Hopefully he will be offered some choices for next year's enrichment classes.  Note the left side of the cake where there is a serious lack of icing.  We left it on the kitchen island, unattended, while we relaxed on the porch ... and we have a very bratty kitten who, apparently, likes icing a lot.  nice for company, to be sure.  (gross).

I enjoyed our party last night and felt very honoured.
And now I still get to have a birthday all day (except I forgot to bring a piece of cake with me - drat!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEAL

and just for the record, you are also a ridiculously beautiful friend that I wish would MOVE HERE. but you actually get less points because you stayed at Sarah Small's house instead of mine. next time email ME out of the blue and let me know you're coming to camp out at my house

I forgot whilst responding to Marge-the-Skinny-Cow.

I hope you four will come back down and visit again soon! Next time, I will throw a chocolate party for you. With "dark" everything...

Alas, now both of our men have "caught up" to us for the time being....but I love as you state "never as old and as wise..." Does Neal celebrate all month long lie Mike? He claims may to be his birthday month...

that looks like it was a great day!
our dog has been experimenting with jumping up on the island and trying to snag things!
