Birthday Dinner

Dear Mom,

I've probably mentioned this before that Suzanne, Ruth and I have birthday dinners. We sisters take turns and cook dinner for the one or the other on their birthday - or as close as we can get. Since I have a December birthday and there is always so much going on that month (who could imagine), that we postpone mine until... whenever.

We celebrated a few weeks ago at Ruth's.

Here's the table setting - the silverware was yours.

I was so excited to eat what Ruth made that I didn't get any good pictures of the meal.

And here are the three of us - Ruth (left) and Suzanne (right) thought they'd hide, which they did...

... but here they are in full view.

And Obie (one of Ruth's pooch) wanted in on the action:

  1. It was fun and we are happy - the only one not so happy was Obie as he couldn't get on the table and eat!

  7. Hi Lynn,

    So much fun! I think that I already wished you a happy birthday, but I am so glad that you got to have a great time with your sissies.

    Thanks so much for the email, it was great to read your interview; I am going to have to get that book on planning your book. I read the other links about the writing submissions also. Good for them! I wonder if there is one for step-families; boy would I have some stories to submit on that, including when my 12 year old stepson told me that I should seriously re-evaluate my position in the family. Whatever.

    Hugs,

    Kathy M.

  10. Jess, I forget that some folks don't have sisters. I'll share. :-)
    Kathy, family is family, so I'm sure you could write something about step-families - why not? Give it a shot.
    Suzanne, Yay, your comment went through - twice, so I deleted one of them!

  11. Ahh, sisters! Now I must go call mine. You've made me yearn to hear her voice. Great photos. The three of you are so lovely. I like the one of your sisters hiding...it is a happy photo.

  14. Lisa, yes, my little sister is really cracking up in that "hiding" picture. Glad you are calling your "di-di" (that's what my girls call each other, which is their word for sister).
    Tammy, how can you remember a name like that of a dish pattern? Whiz kid.
    Pat, family traditions are nice.
