The Birthday Girls and Their Cakes
Alice and LaurelYesterday we celebrated Alice and Erika's birthdays at Michelle and Glenn's. Laurel, Tamara, Kayli, Keith, Theresa, Helge and I were all there. Michelle prepared the traditional family Christmas Eve meal with Swedish meatballs, devilled corn, mashed potatoes, and salad. There was an Oreo birthday cake for the children. Laurel brought a wonderful mocha chiffon cake (prepared by her Dutch neighbour.) We enjoyed eating, visiting, and taking pictures. The birthday gals enjoyed opening their gifts. Glenn took us for rides on GT snow racers pulled by his quad. That was a new experience for me, a little terrifying, but I survived!! Glenn emailed me a few pictures which I will attempt to post. I also have a few candids taken by Helge.
I had coffee with the Caroline Red Hat Ladies today. It was good to see many of the locals once again. Millie celebrated her 80th birthday. (She was born on Friday 13th. Helge said his Mom was also born on Friday the 13th on #13 Odin Street. She always said 13 was her lucky number!) They are planning a big tea party for March 29th. Prior to that they are having a workshop to make decorations for the party. Sounds like fun but I may not be able to attend because of other plans.
Several of the family members are meeting Uncle Norm and Aunty Bea at the new Greek restaurant in Leduc this coming Friday. They will be in Alberta for Norm's brother-in-law's 85th birthday celebration.
Helge has sold nearly 20 cords ( 4'x4'x8') of dried firewood this winter. He is collecting wood regularly to split and dry for future sales. Flora, one of our female German Shepherd dogs had pups today. It has been a very mild day, 8 degrees Celsius, when I checked this afternoon. The weather is changing now this evening with some very strong winds and possible snow flurries.
