The Birthday Girl |
Vintage Cake |
Laura was pretty busy putting everything together. She managed the kitchen with flair and confidence. We sat around visiting and then ate the cake, and we washed it all down with some fresh squeezed lemonade with some fancy ice cubes.
Laura walked around the yard Sunday afternoon and picked tiny flowers off of blooming crepe myrtles, plumbago, and lariope and froze them in ice cube trays.

When the ice cubes started to melt in the lemonade, the vivid colors of the flowers added panache to the celebration. We hope that's all they added. Hopefully none of those flowers are poisonous... I'm still feeling fine.

We had a slow and peaceful celebration, eating cake, drinking lemonade and laughing. Tricia wasn't the only one who was excited to see Laura in for the festivities. I was, too, of course, but Benjamin was all smiles as well to see Big Sis! Russ had to work and couldn't come in, but we'll save a slice or two of Vintage cake for him. I know he'll enjoy it like we did.
Happy to see his big sister! |
Tricia had a great day for her birthday and says that she feels no different turning 49. Happy Birthday, Tricia! We love you!!
