Birthdays...Bike Wrecks...and Good Friends

The end of the week filled with cake, it seems!   Well, and Strawberry Pizza.



Sharon, Judy, and I, celebrating Loretta's 75th Birthday at Almost Home, yesterday!

Having used them last year to cater part of the DS Gathering and this year for Loretta's Birthday, I have to say; if you need an event catered in the Greencastle (or surrounding) Area they are the people to call. From a group of 40 to a personal luncheon for 4 they are elegant. The food and service is consistently good...and the pricing is reasonable.

An all around good experience.

The four of us planning our next Mall-Ratting Excursion soon at The Shoppes of Perry Crossing (formerly aka Metropolis) This makes our fifth year hanging out together as "The Granny Pack"
We have a lot of fun!

Although Emma's 10th Birthday is today, and all of the pieces are in place for her Mad Hatter Tea Party and Sleepover...it won't take place this evening...because today she is off to cast her arm which she broke a couple of days back when she wrecked on her bike, and tried to catch herself from the fall with her right arm.

So we've moved the date up, and she has added signing and decorating the cast into her planned party agenda...lol!

Talk about turning lemons into lemonade.






And her favorite early birthday gifts from Mom and Dad.








That she promptly named Sweet Pea and Moon.

And since she is such a Tea Party Girl...just loves them...I found her this

A Single Serving tea set decorated with roses. When she grows up, and I'm gone, she can always have
                                 "...Tea with Grandma Rose..."

 Back to Virtual Greece Soon for Greek Music and Dance and a look at
The Bouzouki.






Also, mildly amused at the aftermath of Indiana's tornado in Kokomo that flattened, yet another, Starbucks.

The first being struck by a tornado in Lebanon in 2013





Now this one in Kokomo.





 Maybe the gods just don't like bitter, overpriced coffee, either.

Just sayin'
