Bithday cake (It's chocolate, so not really OT at all! ;) )

Oh Happy day to both of you!!!!!! The time really does fly as fast as our mothers told us it would huh? :)

Sharon

Happy Birthday, GMNT! My DM always said, "Time flies when you're having fun."

DS has a birthday Saturday, and I'm also wondering where the past 55+ years have gone.

Aaaawwww! A very Happy Birthday to GMNT! The cake sounds delicious!

Beverly

Happy Birthday! I hope he has a wonderful day! (and when can we all come over for cake???)

Congratulations to the GMNT for reaching another milestone, and to his mother for surviving his journey. ;-) My baby will be 31 the end of November, and it doesn't seem possible. I'm reasonably sure I'm no older than 29 myself........

Another voice chiming in to say Happy Birthday GMNT, Juno

Thanks, and yes, there's plenty!

Thank you.

Inside I feel 16... On the outside I'm *supposed* to be 52, but I don't look in the mirror too closely!

Thank you.

He had us galloping round town looking for dark green string/garden twine (the natural stuff, not the bright shiny polyprop stuff!) and gloves... He's camping somewhere tomorrow night and needs to be able to string up a cammoflaged bivvi! Can't have the string giving you away!

Mirrors lie. They're better if you give them a coating of hairspray, though. A thick coating....

Can I use olive oil spray? I haven't owned ahirspray in over 30 years...

Absolutely! In a pinch, you can use Vaseline.

It's good on camera lenses, too, though most photographers prefer to put it on a filter so it's easier to clean off.

Great! I have plenty of that, for the sewing machines, you know...

Indeed.

Gets you out of the pinch, too.

:-]

My darling girl, the one who decided to come early, wishes James a very happy birthday and said she wanted to send some of cake to him (she turns 6 tomorrow, if you can believe that!). I had to tell her that I didn't think it would survive the trans-Atlantic trip, so she said she'd eat a second piece for him...lol.

A very happy birthday to sweet James!

Larisa (and Rebekah)

More uses than you can shake a stick at.

Happy Birthday James!

I hope (am sure) the cake was good and appreciated by all, especially your GMNT and that he liked his birthday string :^)

I'll pass that on. His dimples are just as cute as when he was her age, but now attracting lasses of his own generation rather than the grannies! ;)
