The Birthday

The Birthday

 

 

 

 

Today I am fifty seven.

Thank you Mom and Dad for the gift of life and the amazing love I was born into.

Sacha came home since he had a school break, he made blueberry pancakes from scratch (his recipe) for my birthday.

Delicious. The stack above is Sacha's second helping.

I had three pancakes not twenty thousand like he had,

and French Husband had more, skinny piggies I do not understand!

 

 

The Birthday

 

Note the pancakes are swimming in maple syrup.

 

Sacha set the breakfast table too.

How happy it was to start the day with a birthday breakfast, and the promise not to have to do dishes. I am fancy free oh la la, I am soaking the maple syrup in like those pancakes!

Love birthdays like this.

 

 

The Birthday

 

Went for a little walk, I love this view.

I went to say Hello to Annie, her smile is always a gift.

My mom called, my brother Zane called, my nieces snapped birthday messages…. I love birthday greetings, makes for a birthday song all day long. Thank you for all the cards, phone calls, FB messages, texts, emails, packages… Thank you!

 

The Birthday

 

Woke up this morning to a dusting of powder sugar on the mountains surrounding us.

So very pretty.

Happy day.

 

 

French Brocante Birthday

 

 

French Husband went with me to my favorite second hand store, and it was a birthday score! He carried everything (and Maggie's purchases too) to the car. He is the best gift!

 

French Brocante Birthday

 

 

A pancake breakfast, birthday greetings, dusting of powder sugar, Annie's smile, my health, a good walkabout, brocante country finds, a loving birth day.

  29. Happy Birthday Corey :)I’ve never posted a comment before, as it was my intention to write you out an email and chat, but couldn’t pass the opportunity to wish you a happy birthday! You and your family seem lovely. I’m so glad for you that you enjoyed your day with them.

  30. Belated Happy Birthday!! I see you had a great day!

  31. Happy birthday
    Enjoy

  32. *****~~~~~HaPpY BiRtHdaY ****~~~~
    Sounds like a great day – kids coming home , cooking (and cleaning up!), a lovely walk, and some treasures scored. Life is good- enjoy.

  33. Happy Birthday! Starting the day with a birthday breakfast like that would be a perfect way to celebrate. Perhaps the secret to the skinny piggies is that you keep at least one of them busy hauling your brocante purchases back and forth, working off some of those calories.

  34. What a wonderful birthday! Your posts are a gift to me every day😊

  35. Happy Birthday, Corey! So happy you had a great time!

  36. So glad your birthday was a happy one, fellow Aquarian. I turned 61 on 1/30. Someone aksed me if I still “celebrate” my birthday. I said, “Of course! I celebrate all year long!” When I was growing up, my family did not celebrate birthdays..not even a cake. So I’ve made up for it in my adulthood. People’s lives should be celebrated at the very least once a year. I c herish the people I love and their lives are a gift to me. I Love your posts Corey!

    Happy Birthday and many more. That is a good job you have done to raise a son who can cook. He will be a special prize for some lucky woman. I know because I too have a son who can cook and we do so almost every Sunday when he is in town.
    Love to you all,
    Helene

    What wonderful feeling of joy flooded over me as I read about all the blessings overflowing and wrapping around you on this, the celebration of your Day of Life. Thank you for sharing the images and thoughts on this special day…you young woman! Oh, how I remember those days when I was in my 50’s….

  42. HAPPY BIRTHDAY COREY! I wish you many many more. The “sugar coating” of snow is very pretty…easier on the eyes (and back) than the many feet of it we are buried under.
    And still it comes 🙂 Happy Birthday from cold and snowy New England!

  43. Happy Birthday, Corey!
