november was my birthday month

 i really made the most of it

celebrating at every opportunity as it presented itself

meeting up with family and friends and committees 

indulging in treats and meals and tastes of all kinds

special surprise desserts from special people

offers from community businesses

yes, I happily welcomed them all

cakes, pie, breakfast, mexican lunch, coffee,

beverages, bread, ice cream, chocolate…

my birthday month knew no bounds

ah, those were the days

now it’s december

it’s cold

there’s snow

it’s not

my birthday month

time to pay the piper

why don’t the community businesses 

offer free after-birthday

gym memberships, personal trainer, black coffee, online workouts?

  6. Oh I love that you have a birthday month. Mine comes on a UK “bank holiday” weekend so I generally take the whole weekend as my birthday, and might stretch to a week but a month. Now I like that

  14. True story: When my grandson (whom I nicknamed “Peanut” when he was little) had his first birthday, his mother baked him a chocolate cake just like that, and the little guy was so excited he dove into it face first… and became a chocolate-covered Peanut.

  28. When are you posting the photo of you face smashing and munching on the cake? 🤣 Having a November birthday sounds great and so close to the festivities of the December holidays! Glad you had a good one!

  35. I love the photo which reminds me of a large gathering at our oldest son’s first birthday in 1976. He did the faceplant and grabbed handfuls of cake on the side. It was a huge crowd pleaser because no one remembered seeing anyone do that. Luckily it was well photographed because it was the photo moment when you get a picture of the baby with his first birthday cake.
