Yes! Last Sunday we got together with dear friends and one of them had made a bourbon cake!! It was so yummy!! We're spreading out my birthday over the week because the people we wanted to get together with all have schedules... There'll be photos on my blog Monday and photos of the cake too. 😁

Happy birthday week, or as we say over at my place happy birthday SEASON!!! Unlike the birthday week (which only lasts for a sad, 7 days) the birthday SEASON lasts for as many days as years old you are. So, if you are 50, you get a 50 day birthday season. You don't have to do something every day of your birthday season, but you always have the possibility of festive behavior. For example, it is during your birthday season and a friend says, "let's go out to lunch" and really, you have too much work to do, but then you think: "Hey! it's my birthday season! Of course I want to go to lunch."

Anyway, Happy Birthday. I hope there will be cake.

Lol!!!!! I like the way you think!!!! My birthday week started off with a friend's homemade bourbon cake!! Since then I've had birthday burgers (with a candle on mine 🤣), birthday Danish pancakes, Swedish coffee, pizza, beer and ice cream!! There was a birthday bookstore extravaganza deluxe too!! Later today we're meeting 4 of our family members for even more birthday-ness.... Such a fun week is birthday week!!!

Happy Birthday! I'm especially moved by the sketch of the otter and the quote, "You can't do all of the good that's needed in this world but the world needs every bit of good that you can do."

You certainly live this!

I know many will look at your emails and feel compelled to draw something...anything! I look at your journal and wish my handwriting were as illustrative as your art! I am in awe by your penmanship! Is that weird? Anyway...I am thinking to the prompt month I have coming up in October and without giving away too much of what it entails...I really need to brush up on my penmanship!

Thank you for the birthday gift of your delightful comment!!! Well over 25 years ago my adopted father, who worked as a psychiatrist, showed me scientific research about the positive effects writing by hand seems to have on good mental health skill development. So I began back then to practice my own handwriting legibility. My dad was an avid fan of doing things by hand as much as possible because it is good for mental health and I was one of his biggest fans 🥰 Anyhoo, I look forward to your prompt about writing by hand!!!
