Crystal’s Day Off


Crystal deserves a day off!

It’s her birthday this week, so today’s post is penned by yours truly, Sir Beads.

Given the fact that Crystal and I were married within a year after we met, and next week is our 40th Wedding Anniversary, this is the 41st Crystal’s Birthday that we have celebrated together. Where does the time go?

I’m sure that some of those birthdays did not involve having a day off from anything. (Sorry, Honey.) But then sometimes I, or the kids and I, would make a meal or pick a chore or two off the list that we wouldn’t normally do. I really hope those efforts made her day a little more fun and enjoyable in those years.

Now that I’m retired and home a lot more of the time, I’m realizing that the list of chores for a wife and homemaker (not to mention businesswoman and blogger) is much longer and more time-consuming than I figured!


Note to Crystal:

Darling, count me in to help out where I can.
And Happy Birthday!
Love,
Sir Beads

Party Time!

Hey Kids,

Put down that Christmas wrap,

and clear a space on the table . . .

I’m about to serve you a nice big slice of birthday cake!!!

That’s right! It’s Paulette’s birthday! 😀


Step right up, Paulette, and put on your pink party crown!

We know you love winter and especially snow . . . so here’s wishing that snow will arrive for your birthday (or at least for your “birthday weekend”!) Enjoy your special day. 😀

I’d love to celebrate all the birthdays here on the blog. I lost my b-day list when the computer went down a few weeks ago, so if you sent your date before, or would like to add it now, for the first time – please email it to me at this address:

Have a joyful weekend, everyone! With the holidays just around the corner, let’s keep reminding each other to take a deep breath now and then. We don’t want to miss any of those quiet moments that make the season special. 🙂

See you Monday!

Hugs,

Cupcakes For All

Grab your party hats and noisemakers, Kids!

It’s Donna’s birthday. 🙂


Shall we sing?

What’s that? You want to warm up first?

Ok . . . mmmmi-mi-mi-mi-miiiiiiiiii… (ahem). 😉

Ready now?

Happy Birthday, Dear Donna . . .

Haaaapy Birrrthday tooo youuuuu!!!

Congratulations Donna! (don_mae) 😀

I’m going to guess your birthday has actually fallen on Thanksgiving Day multiple times over the years. Tell us about that…… please? Is it a good day for a birthday, or did you feel you were sharing the spotlight with the holiday (as Christmas babies often do)?

By the way, did you know if you blow out a virtual candle on a virtual cupcake, your wish will come true?!?! Yep! 🙂

Enjoy your day, Donna!
