Birthday Fun 🥳

Because strawberry picking on Wednesday looked like it was going to be slim picking, we went to Old Ellicott City for the afternoon instead. My favourite go to place! And I was "allowed" to shop in any, and all, of the stores I wanted to with no complaining. At least none that I heard?!

Walking around town, who knew an eggplant was art?

But it did make for a fun photo!

Well who wouldn't want a Ranch Dressing, Buffalo Wing, Bacon, Peanut Butter & Jelly, Maple Syrup, Mustard, Enchilada, Sweet Corn, Coffee, or Cucumber Soda?! 😨

But the different flavoured popcorn was good!

I found this tin the antique shop, in excellent condition and it was calling for me to take it home.

I also found this treasure, a mini sewing box. Did I read that correctly, it was only $7??? 

Too cute, look at how small it is.

I chose to have dinner at The Mint, our local Indian restaurant.

Memories of my surprise party there for my 50th.

Gman1 and his gf C, made me a creamsicle cake that I requested.

It was delicious! And goes well with the flowers from Cori.

It was a great day, even beautiful weather that was sunny and cool with no humidity... ahh!

April Shenanigans 🎉

Wow, it's almost May and I still have fun stuff to show from April.

Here's the Gmen on their first birthday, 21 years ago. I think they enjoyed their cake!

And here's their "social distance" birthday celebration on the 7th.

Gman2 requested zucchini bread for his cake, no problem.
He missed getting a haircut before the shutdown, you should see it now!

Gman2 had a tiramisu cake, he celebrated with his gf C and her grandparents.

Then it was time for Cori's birthday, she had to settle for distance hugs and kisses!

She was "loving" the frozen zombie pop I made her!

Social distance birthday wishes were a hit, but I'm looking forward to it coming to an end!

Unfortunately, the PEEP Show Nathan and I normally attend during his spring break was cancelled. BUT, you can still see and vote for the entries HERE! This is one I thought was cute, Forky!

Another cancellation 😢 was for a shore retreat I was going to, so we made "a toast to our continued well being and offer up some prayers for those who are not .. and end with a wish that we will all be together again soon." So here was my beachy contribution, with Ming as my sidekick.

My attempt at face masks, still working on making more.

Can you guess which one I'll be making for myself?!

Distant learning for Nathan also includes band, he'll be playing/zooming for the first time later today.

He's doing okay with his classes, but doesn't really like when I require gym outside when it's nice!

I think that's it for now, I have been stitching, but you'll see that later. I hope your super long April wasn't too bad for you, and let's hope May will be a little less restricting, AND safer and healthier!
