I blogged rather disparately about my birthday a few days ago which did eventually go off without a hitch. As proof, below are a series of photos on the cake making and eating. The mix and candles had been found and the little girl learned to bake a cake.
She had to taste the batter (health officials please look the other way) and give it her blessing before it went into the oven.
And dressed for the party she gets to taste the fruits of her labors after frosting and writing have been added. Yummm!
And since you are all so terribly curious and I just love the shocked look on your face when you see THIS photo of me in my birthday gift. Yes, it was a request! How in the heck can you get close to wildlife to photograph when you are in a white bathrobe or red winter jacket? Now at last I am one with mother nature. Needless to add, granddaughter and I are on very different wave lengths at this time in our lives.

Belated Happy Birthday, Tabor :) and I LOVE that birthday suit---you are a 'girl' after my own heart. :D I would have been thrilled with that gift. :) Your little granddaughter is absolutely beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteLove that birthday suit. You will blend right in. Do not think I could do this as a trespassing hunter might shoot me :)
ReplyDeleteAnother beauty in the family is that little one.
She has quite the fashion sense combining a red turtleneck with a princess dress....and you....you look happy and that is what counts. The cake looked delicious too.
ReplyDeleteDifferent pages, but from the same book by the looks of things. Hope your birthday turned out to be everything you wanted it to be.
ReplyDeleteThat's some birthday suit, looks warm too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a hoot! You have a beautiful granddaughter. Loved the pictures.
ReplyDeleteYou were so well camoflaged that I could hardly find you in the picture at first.
ReplyDeleteI totally want one too! They are warm, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteMy daughter always complained when I'd let her lick the beaters. She insisted I had to turn them off first.
ReplyDeletethat is the BEST birthday present!! and you look absolutely radiant wearing it!
ReplyDeleteyour little girl is just as precious as mine! i bet you make a good team!
We always licked the batter and even scraped the bowls. Cerulean Bill - funny!
ReplyDeleteCammo is a great idea for taking photos. I hope you do not have any hunters in your neck of the woods.
Looking forward to pics you get.
Drat, drat, drat! I missed a perfect opportunity to say:
ReplyDeleteHey look! A picture of you in your birthday suit!
Wonderful camo suit!!! You look marvelous darhhlink!!
ReplyDeleteHappy 2012 and Happy Birthday
Hugs

Happy Birthday! So glad to see you smiling - I almost missed you in the picture what with the camouflage! :)
ReplyDeleteVery glad to see you doing well and to know that the last six months have been good.
Another Happy Belated Day!
ReplyDeleteThat camoflague jumpsuit is great! Very cute cake baker you are mentoring also- Looks like a good time. I don't want to see what would happen if I had my 4 grandsons try to help with cakemaking- (Note: I did recently have an un-posted B-day, btw- had to work). Lucky you got your girl to not sling mix everywhere...
Ha.. I love the contrast between Woodsy Woman and Rapunzel. Too cute. Your granddaughter's hands are so beautiful and artistic. And she's really enjoying that cake.
ReplyDeleteWell, I am speechless! You are far more elegant and beautiful than I ever gave you credit for!
ReplyDeletewell now - that is the perfect birthday gift for one who wants to "blend!"
ReplyDeleteHappy belated!
Well, that last photo is very sweet! I hope you told your granddaughter that she can be both a fairy princess and a deer hunter (or photographer) -- just like her grandma! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving such a thoughtful comment. I appareciate it very much.
I can't let my husband see that outfit - he'll be scouting all over the Internet to find it for himself! Anything to keep nature and bugs off his sensitive skin.
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday! Glad you got to spend it with your adorable granddaughter.
Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but other than that, this is great blog. A great read. I will certainly be back.
