We went over to Charley’s backyard for a birthday party for Anne. Everyone missed proper birthday parties during the pandemic year. We did have something for family in that backyard for the grandkids, but since no school friends were there, I’ll stick with saying “not proper parties.” Today Arlene called in an order for sushi at Otake in Highlands (that was the first time we’ve ordered takeout since the start of the pandemic) and I baked dessert. Well, I baked a cake yesterday and baked a blueberry pie and frosted the cake today. It all worked fine! We cut a slice of cake for Anne, put candles in it, and set it in front of her, away from the remaining cake, so she could blow out the candles without blowing on everyone else’s cake.
I thought that was a picture of the cake, but I decided there was too much blank canvas at the top, so I added some more flowers and some vines holding them together
And here’s the slice with candles to be blown out:
