Char's Birthday Pics, also...a very nice day.

Happy 16th birthday, Charlotte!
 Because it's a weird little family tradition, I give you cake pictures!

 

I don't know WHY we love to take pictures of celebratory cakes...we just do it.  Everybody has to pose with the cake, & the goofier you look, the better.  Char with cake...
 Yes I know...I still have my Christmas Cards taped to the china closet,  I just kind of like them there...they are cheerful ( & the one Kij sent still makes me giggle).
Grandma & Char.  And a cake!
 Awww!

Me & Char.  And a cake, which is so yummy that I will STEAL it & eat it soon if the cake pics don't stop.

 Finally, Char and newish boyfriend person.   And a cake.   They are supremely cute & trendy together...

She says that when he pouts he looks just like "L" from "Death Note".    Reason enough to put up with boyfriend drama (for now).  I have some interesting observations to make on Char's dating habits of late...but that'll have to go in a F-locked entry 'cause, personal.    Suffice to say, if I'd been as logical & confident when I was a teen/younger person, I'd have made a LOT les foolish choices.  I'm rather proud of my kid; she's so incredibly balanced lately!  ^_^

In other news; it was a gray day, but a good one.  I've been riding my bike in spite of the wintry cold temps of the last few days, but today while I was out there on the trail it started at 50 & got all the way up to 60 by the time I finished!  It was so fine, I even got the dog & did another 6 miles with him (half of it was on a new wooded trail that was bumpy but lovely, & he had SO much fun).

The weather's supposed to turn; it smells like thunderstorms out there right now & a cold front is heading this way.  Ooooh...I hope we have a nice spring thunderstorm!!

So I just had a simply awesome turkey sandwich on rye, & it's back to work for me.  I have things to make for this weekend (I'm actually doing an SCA event...for the first time in almost 2 years!  Basically I'm just doing it to see some old friends), also my Etsy site is emptying out so I have to re-stock that too.   Making a late dinner for Mom who is coming over to watch Survivor tonight (for some reason it's on tonight instead of Thursday).   Busy busy!
 

*Hugs*  Love you all!

Charlotte really is awfully pretty. And I notice her face keeps getting more and more refined. When I first met you, she was 12, and her face was rounder and younger, but she looks more like a grown-up every time you post pictures. She's got a lovely oval face and great cheekbones and a cute little chin. Lucky her :) (Her hair looks great, too. I knew that's the one thing I would miss about straight hair...the glorious shine I used to have. Curly hair simply can't shine as much as straight hair.)

That cake is so cute, with all the daisies. The sea-foam colour is unusual, too (one of the walls of my bedroom used to be that colour, almost exactly.) What kind of cake was it?

My family does that too! I have TONS of birthday cake pics. :)

Char is so lovely. Yeah for balance and logic in our young people! Bodes well for our twilight years, not so?

That's a beautiful cake! And, hey, we all have to have our goofy traditions. Tell Charlotte "belated happy birthday" for me. :)

Happy Birthday Charlotte! You've got a great mom with a good head on her shoulders - a great role model for you.

Keep up the good work - you've got the world ahead of you.
