Today I'm offering a fond thank you to all of you who sent good wishes on my 84th birthday yesterday.
You are all good friends.
To those of you who were hoping I enjoyed a huge slice of birthday cake, I must tell you that we did not take that risk.
The risk of burning the house down and possibly my demise from the task of blowing out all of those candles.
SWMBO offered me a choice a week or so before and I chose a favorite of mine: Lemon Sponge Pie.
It was delicious, as was my filet mignon, shrimp scampi and a new discovery: Sister Schubert's Dinner Rolls!
I have a post by Val the victorian to thank for tipping me to those frozen supermarket delights.
They are mouth-watering.
So, all-in-all, it was a great feast and a wonderful birthday celebration here at home, just the two of us.
So now it's Thursday and a bit of a letdown.
Onward and upward!
Nice cake choice..and a good smile 🙂
ReplyDeleteGotta love Sister Schubert's! The Pony can eat a whole pan of them by himself, so we always bake two pans for our holiday dinners.
ReplyDeleteAh the day after...but what a feast you enjoyed. I agree with your grandfather, each day we live we are a year older than we were on that day a year ago.
ReplyDeleteThat must have been fabulous! The pie sounds better than a piece of cake - love lemon flavouring.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday! Why do Star Trek characters so often feature in these memes, I wonder?
ReplyDeleteI missed your birthday, Oy Vey! Happy Belated.
ReplyDeleteCelebrations at this age are pretty laid back. We've been there before.
ReplyDelete😊👍
ReplyDeleteLemon Sponge Pie? Do you have a recipe or is this a bought item?
ReplyDeleteAll kind of recipes available on Google. Judy makes it.
DeleteSister Schubert's is available here. i may have to put your review to the test. Glad you did not burn the house down.
ReplyDeleteGroan!
