A Special Day

It’s your birthday!  Happy Birthday to YOU!
A smile brightens my face and my heart sings.
You wouldn’t know that. 
But I learned it was your day
And I am happy for you and those who love you.
To me, birthdays are the most special of all days,
                       
                          ♪           

Looking back, several birthday celebrations especially remembered:

Eyes on the candle-topped ground beef & string bean cake 
There was Pugslee’s very first, observed on summer vacation in the country.  We baked a ‘dog-friendly’ cake for the thoroughly loved bulldog AND a traditional cake for the rest of us.  Obviously Pugslee is focused on his favorite of the two.

One year my young grandchildren joined me in honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on the anniversary of his birthday.  We made the cake; decorated it; spoke about him and his life; sang happy birthday; blew out the candles.  And, we enjoyed that cake!

More than ten years have passed since we did the same, observing the 100th birthday of their great-grandfather – my father, in heaven.

Yes, It's A Birthday Cake


More recently (not yet six years ago) there was my daughter’s birthday when her artist daughter surprised us, presenting this innovative Birthday Cake.  Jai made the fabulous ‘Giraffe Cake’ from start to finish.   It was delicious!
                                
                                   
                                             



Birthdays are special.  May you enjoy yours today or another magnificent day.
