Birthday Fun












Michael is a man who has many friends. Each friend thinks he is Michael’s best friend. In truth, he has a handful of really good friends and a truckload of friends. He is a lucky man. They are all really great people.

Because of this, his birthday is going to be celebrated for the entire month! Everyone wants to be with him, which is not a bad problem to have!

But, he wanted a quiet birthday. Just the two of us.

So, we spent the day together. Alone. Well, except for Don. We called him on our way to Dynamo Donuts for a birthday donut. He met us there and chatted for a couple of hours over apple filled maple covered with bacon sprinkled donuts. Mine was a Caramel de Sel. Amazing. $3.00 each. Small. Worth every dollar.

Afterwards, we headed downtown. After cleaning his closet last month, it was clear the poor man needed new everyday clothing. Off we went to the main H&M store and went crazy. From there we hit Macy’s for more. He is good for a year!

We dropped by one of his most favorite restaurant, Out the Door, which is a smaller version of the very famous and wonderful Slanted Door, for a light lunch. Afterwards, we drove home and spread mulch in the gardens (both wearing masks) for almost three hours! What a workout!

We were still full from lunch so I baked an apple pie for dinner/desert. With a candle, of course.

We sent photos to William throughout the day and talked with him several times. He is in LA, will be in our area in the middle of the month then off to Hawaii for 17 days. Wish we could join him!
