Birthday Thank You

Belatedly,  thank you for the birthday wishes last Thursday.   Seems the less you do - the less you want to do.

Found this picture of me last week at what is likely my second birthday (counting the candles).  Good to remember when you could have everyone together for your birthday.  Can't believe me and my mom in matching aprons.

My birthday wish was a simple one - Chinese carryout (I NEVER COOK ON MY BIRTHDAY)  Who would have known it would have been so hard.  My favorite Chinese restaurant in Royal Oak had been open for carry-out but they have since closed.  Even the neighborhood carryout place was closed.  Why would a carryout only place be closed.  Is there such a stigma to Chinese due to this virus.  I know the chain places were open but I don't like to go to chain places if I can help it.  So by the end of the day I got myself in a funk.  Its funny how something little can get you down - even when you should consider yourself lucky.

Stay safe everyone.

Easter Remembrances

Still sorting pictures.  I found these this week which is timely

This is me.  I don't know if it at my grandparents farm in Ohio or at my Aunt Carries farm which I believe was in Novi.

When I was growing up my grandmother (mothers mother) always made a lamb shaped cake.  That custom was continued by my mother.  This is my nephew Chris (who was the first grandchild) examining the desert table at my parents house.

And here is me in what was likely my new Easter hat and outfit.  I would have been in high school - the date is hard to read but I believe it was 1968.
