Nunquam Non Paratus


Another year..

Another steak!

Yup, the BBQ steak picture means that another birthday has come for me. Ellie tells me that I am thirty six this time. Good thing I have her to remind me of such things.

This years celebration had steak, stuffed potatoes with cheese, fried mushrooms, corn, bread, and salad. This didn't leave much room for the dessert. My loving wife made me my favorite cake (really the only kind I will eat).. vanilla cake with vanilla icing. That is right, I don't like chocolate cake. Nor do I like ice cream cake. So I could never figure it out years ago when my family would get a chocolate ice cream cake for me for my birthday... but I digress. Naomi made a cake for me and Ellie helped decorate it with little candy stars while singing 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' and other great Ellie hit singles.

The ladies discovered that we were out of birthday candles, so we improvised..

Ellie 'helped' me blow out the candle.. she hasn't really figured out how to direct the flow of air yet. No shortage of effort though.

Afterwards Ellie and Adelaine helped me open some presents. A sure sign that people around here have gotten to know me pretty good: Chantel gets me a pizza for my birthday.

Got some other cool presents, including a rock that I am told was simply used for weight in a box to keep me guessing what was in it. Didn't stop Ellie from playing with it.

Oh yeah.. I had some cards and presents too. Yup, another April 10th, another birthday. Life is good.
