The Birthday

By Coreyamaro

Today I am fifty seven.

Thank you Mom and Dad for the gift of life and the amazing love I was born into.

Sacha came home since he had a school break, he made blueberry pancakes from scratch (his recipe) for my birthday.

Delicious. The stack above is Sacha's second helping.

I had three pancakes not twenty thousand like he had,

and French Husband had more, skinny piggies I do not understand!

Note the pancakes are swimming in maple syrup.

Sacha set the breakfast table too.

How happy it was to start the day with a birthday breakfast, and the promise not to have to do dishes. I am fancy free oh la la, I am soaking the maple syrup in like those pancakes!

Love birthdays like this.

Went for a little walk, I love this view.

I went to say Hello to Annie, her smile is always a gift.

My mom called, my brother Zane called, my nieces snapped birthday messages.... I love birthday greetings, makes for a birthday song all day long. Thank you for all the cards, phone calls, FB messages, texts, emails, packages... Thank you!

Woke up this morning to a dusting of powder sugar on the mountains surrounding us.

So very pretty.

Happy day.

French Husband went with me to my favorite second hand store, and it was a birthday score! He carried everything (and Maggie's purchases too) to the car. He is the best gift!

A pancake breakfast, birthday greetings, dusting of powder sugar, Annie's smile, my health, a good walkabout, brocante country finds, a loving birth day.
