It isn’t an EASY time to have a birthday – the day after Christmas – but nonetheless, DH had a Happy Birthday! He and Pepper are watching the weather channel (he LOVES the weather channel – TRUE,) drinking coffee and enjoying the early morning snuggle time!

No birthday is complete without a walk. I had to laugh because anyone who really KNOWS me knows that most of my clothes are black – no big psychological reason – I just LIKE black! Honest. (Well, there is a TEENY WEENY psychological link – I am a BIT HYPER – I MEANT TO SAY ENERGETIC and black calms me down – soothes my soul! LOL) But on special occasions, like DH’s birthday, I try to wear a spot of blue – DH’s favorite color. Look how Pepper’s Sweater, the leash and I match!

DD Christi made the DELICIOUS HOMEMADE FRUITCAKE – and yes, we both LOVE fruitcake. It was perfect, except someone took a tiny piece out of the cake before DH got it. LOL. Now WHO would do such a thing!!!! Actually I cannot believe that someone actually took a piece of cake before DH got it….it was SO OUT OF CHARACTER…..for me. But, you know, I had never ever in my life had warm fruitcake – and I thought that I could just push the cake back together and no one would ever know………but the cut was too clean to cover up. LOL!

Despite the slight wedge gone out of the cake, the cake was a success….and I actually hope that this fruitcake becomes an annual tradition. I just LOVE TRADITIONS.
DH - Make a Wish!
He wished that next time Christi would send him a WHOLE CAKE!
We had lunch at Max’s FAV place – CRACKER BARRELL – yes, he didn’t even have to look at the menu – it was chicken and dumplings with fried okra and fried apples. PERIOD! No variation. Can’t improve on a good thing, right? The little red things in the foreground are tomatoes sticking out of my salad……I had the BLT Salad. Thanks to the Epps Family for the birthday gift card to the CB!

For dinner I was so FANCY – I fixed Lentils and Rice…..love those COSTCO delights! And we watched MAMA MIA…..Hm….I think that was the sixth time for me – I just can’t get enough of that movie…..FIVE THUMBS UP!
BDay Dinner and a Movie
Tonto Morris, Daisy May, and Pepper helped celebrate – can you believe that some people let their cats eat right on their table? 🙂 I don’t mind it so much when they are eating chicken – but when they have salmon while I am eating my breakfast – well, I am only SMILING ON THE OUTSIDE – and that is the truth!

DJ loved his birthday quilt – CAROLINA CROSSROADS – a Bonnie K. Hunter Quiltville Mystery Quilt – the first one to be exact.

Time to End the Celebration
Ok – so Christmas is over – DH birthday is over – we had fun – and now it is time to take the Christmas decorations down. You will notice a naked Christmas tree in the background – the kitties have already UNTRIMMED THE TREE. Really – every last ornament. Daisy May is on the coffee table – laughing…..doesn’t it look like she is laughing?
It is almost time to ring in the New Year!
