Saturday, March 14
We were planning for the annual birthday party at our friends Mark and Marcy’s house – on Sunday, March 15.
At the time, we didn’t have to stay home because of the virus, but Marcy messaged me on Saturday morning to say she had a serious case of bronchitis and would have to cancel.
I had previously offered to take the cake, and it was ready for pick up on Saturday morning. I cut it in half and took one half to Jere and Kristen’s. They are always bringing us things to eat, so this was our turn. There are 6 of them so it was gone in one meal. 🙂
I cut our half into serving slices and put them in the refrigerator. We enjoyed it for dessert for a few days. Yum!
This is us in 2017 when everyone was at our house. Left to right: Marcy, Mark, Gene, Cookie, Gerald and Cerwin.
Marcy, Cookie, Gerald’s wife, Joanne (deceased:( ), and I have birthdays in February. We have been friends since our children were small – some since our teenage days.
Last year the ladies met in a restaurant, but this year we wanted to include the guys because Gerald recently had hip surgery. We wanted it to also be a get-well meal for him.
We will try again when the weather is nicer and the virus releases us from it’s grip.
We had to cancel out Family Winter/Spring birthday party. My brother and wife were coming from Spain, my daughter from TX and my son from NY. Don’t know when we will reschedule.
Oh, I am sad for all the cancelations. I was supposed to be at a baby shower for a granddaughter this afternoon. The number of people was greatly reduced. I could have gone, but chose to stay safe.
