...I mean...what's not to love about birthdays...I love opening cards and presents...
...the kiddos sent beautiful flowers from Japan...
...this is from my sweet sissie...the seagrass trivet she made herself in the Bahamas...my favorite kind of pressie...and the other 'thing' is a drip guard for my George Foreman grill...because I got it secondhand for $5 it didn't come with one...and a lot of the veggies I cook in it 'sweat'...and I've just dealt with it with a plate...but this is a much nicer solution...and so thoughtful of her as I only mentioned it in passing...mmmwah!
...the Man's gorgeosus Pop-Up card...I love pop-ups...
...kind of a 'joke' gift...remember I was looking for a kitchy ceramic egg holder to serve my vegan egg dipping sauce...well...the Man got this for me...it'll probably work even better because it will pour out the beak...haha...
...and and another little giftie...a bell for my bike...I had one in North Dakota...no idea what happened to it...and this one is red...perfect...
...I think all my other presents were bike-related...I also called Mom and thanked her for the Bike Fenders that she 'got' me for my birthday...as she sent me a gift card and that's what I spent it on...but they won't arrive until August 2nd...they're from Germany...
...this is a new larger basket for my bike...my old one was actually a white woven basket...with flowers...the kind you used to see on girl's bikes back in the 70s...but it was too small for ferrying books and such back and forth to the Church...which is what I usually use my basket for...
...kitten loves it...of course...
...new tires and tubes...mine are really old...like from North Dakota...so at least 10 years old...
...and a new padded seat cover...that was thoughtful...
...and the Man baked a vegan chocolate cake...he's not the baker of the family...haha...but he did a great job...just using a cake mix and some Egg Replacer...
...it baked beautifully...
...and iced with chocolate...
...a random number of candles...
...because the real amount would have created quite the blaze...
...and it was delicious...
...and the Man made dinner...Cajun Black Beans and rice...he said it was hard not to put in any cumin...the recipe did not call for any...haha...
...also delicious...it was a pretty perfect day...
~Have a lovely day!

Happy, happy, happy belated birthday to you! I hope this year is wonderful! Looks like you're bike is going to basically be brand-new again with all the new upgrades and additions. I am sure it will serve you well. A sturdy book-carrying basket is quite necessary, I agree. Like your fenders, mine is from Germany!
ReplyDeleteAwww...thanks so much Beth!
