12 - A Proper Cake
•
Week 12 - Monday 3/16 to Sunday 3/22

That birthday thing rolled around this week, and the family and friends group gathered to remind me that I'm older. It really wasn’t necessary since my nervous system does a bang-up job of communicating that fact from my various body parts on a daily basis. Still, it was nice to see everyone having a nice time and eating well. Since my friend Ron is 10 days older than I am, we tend to combine birthday celebrations into a single event which explains one of the brighter spots of the day. It was Daughter Kassi’s concept of a proper birthday cake for a couple of beer connoisseurs. I recognized the simple cupcake stand that I built for her a while ago, but she found a way to present the Guinness-infused chocolate cupcakes that turned it into a work of art.
