While we were enjoying my birthday dinner the realtor called to arrange a showing for the next day. It was all hands on deck in the morning as we prepared the house for viewing. John had partially trimmed the hedge so he and my sister rushed outside to finish and cleanup. Inside I remade the beds with the "only for house showings" bedding and hung the "only for house showings" towels!! Toilets and sinks were scrubbed, floors washed and the old clothes dryer was loaded into my sister's vehicle. Whew!!
Around 11am we were finished. The dryer was dumped at Scrappy's, west of town. We shared coffees and juice at Java Jive before spending half an hour at The Matchbox reading hilarious greeting cards.
Last night we shared a potluck birthday dinner for our friend who had recently turned 65 years. Lots of laughter, great food and fun gifts before the birthday cake was carried into the living room where we were all gathered.
As he was posing with the cake, holding it in front of himself, I asked him to tilt it a bit. The cake fell face down onto the table!! Amazingly, when he flipped it over, the image was intact! Notice the angle of the candles. They obviously helped to blunt the fall!!!! The group went from stunned silence to relieved laughter!
