Eat Cake! Moderately

All the world is birthday cake, so take a piece, but not too much.
~ George Harrison

Everything in moderation, right? Grab a piece of cake and chow down, especially when it is for a birthday. Just keep in mind that it should be a small piece of cake.

Today was another birthday event for me, dining with someone who had just celebrated a birthday himself. We ended up having a three and a half hour lunch, catching up on various things.

After that I went to one of my goddaughter’s homes because it was her 10th birthday today. Wow!! Double digits!! How exciting is that? She loved my sparkly bling gifts and put them both on immediately. She had also been at a birthday party for someone else that morning and each child decorated a small cake (the one in the photo was hers) and took it home.

Her uncle/godfather arrived, bearing two blocks of wood screwed together. He is such a jokester that she did not realize that was the “card” until he asked if she was going to open it. Off she went to retrieve a screwdriver and proceeded to open it. A crisp $100 bill brought a squeal of delight. Pretty clever! I suggested she keep the blocks of wood and gift someone else in the same way—and not necessarily with the same amount of cash. She liked that idea.

It was a gorgeous day here—hot and sunny, and while there were bugs, not one mosquito. Summer arrives this week and we are definitely being blessed with it today. I think it was 31 degrees at one point today. We sat in the shade and had great conversations. What a wonderful life, I have, some days! Grab a piece of cake and enjoy!

Peace,
