The Cake is gone.
Consolidated my 59th with Aiden's Upcoming 5th and Brenden's 9th and it was a mass of birthday candles, a flurry of icing (also pizza and pop), and
"Happy Birthday to US!"
Sung off-key and with flourish.
Candies and Candles, Kitchen Stuff and Birthday Morels, Bath Stuff, Ribbons and Lilacs.
But the very best was just FAMILY!
"It's up my NOSE!!!!"
And so happy that Kaylee was able to come!!!!
59 is shaping up to be a great last year of the fifties...and I am so blessed.
Was shocked when I was looking back at one of the earliest photos I took of Sofi
And now...at not quite a YEAR.
She is coming along with her harness too...
From
to Proud Guard Cat.
Today, I joined Tina and Family for her Bridal Shower.
Games and Prizes.
They are honeymooning at Disney...and since they basically have everything at home...wedding/bridal gifts were contributions to the honeymoon.
Next week they will be Mr. & Mrs.
Not losing a son- but gaining another wonderful Daughter!
So happy, as Our Middle (Lennon) will be here on the 1st for the week.
The best part is that on the 2nd we are having a brunch...and for the first time in a long time I will be out solo with my three boys!
I am soooooooooooooo looking forward to it!
Last week's Game of Thrones was beyond cruel. They have brought everyone back together.
And they decided to devote the whole episode last Sunday to "the feels".
Bran and Jamie making peace.
Ser Jamie and Brianne and the whole warm and fuzzy...let's sit around the fireplace, get warm, tell tales, drink wine and sing with Podrick, Tormund, Davos, and Tyrion.
And I LOVED when Jamie Lannister knighted Brianne of Tarth.
Greyworm and his lady love reunited and speaking of future plans to settle in Narth.
They even brought back together Beric and The Hound.
Made peace with Sansa and Theon.
Gave a brief sisterly human moment between Dany and Sansa.
Brought Gentry and Ayra together in a tastefully done lovemaking scene.
Brought the last 3 of the brotherhood back to fight the Night King.
Brought Lady Mormont together with Jorah for a memorable confrontation.
Samwell Tarly gives Jorah his father's sword for the upcoming battle then is below in the crypts sleeping with Gilly and Little Sam.
Podrick's haunting rendition of Jenny of Oldstones as the camera pans.
Sansa and Theon sit at a table in the courtyard together.
Gave Jon just enough time to reveal to Dany that his true linage is Targaryen.
(...she appeared less than pleased...)
Yes...they gave us a moment to really CARE about everyone...
Before they start getting killed off.
And you know they are going to...
Heartless BASTARDS.
This Week's Book
Naturalist Essays by Annie Dillard.
Beautiful. Quiet. Comforting.
An excellent CENTER in the midst of a hectic week.
And Trump...what is left to say...really?
He threatens to sue if his taxes are revealed.
He threatens to sue if his college transcripts are released.
He threatens to sue over the Mueller Report.
It is almost like he has something to hide, or something...lol!
More anon...
