"Oh, wasn't them the happy days when troubles we had not,
And our mothers made colcannon in the little skillet pot!!?"

days of yore as often happens on these days....)

Birthday Girl had an open house to celebrate another year, and Harry/Harriet the Horse was there, as Damon Runyon might have said. It was an "up-lifting, wonderful gathering of great womenfolk," as one of the actual participants said. It was great fun, for which Birthday Girl is still amazed and grateful! (And yes, that is.)
And just like fabulous frosting on the cake, Linda sent these pix this aft. Always nice to have a photographer in the mix!! Sorry we missed the others who had left.
Lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteI for one know how fun your birthdays can be! I'm glad you had a nice day. Lovely photo of you and Sal. <3
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday whenever it was.
ReplyDeleteI see that you do resemble my dad and I see myself, too! Redders all. Glad it was a good day to celebrate. The D.N.
ReplyDeleteSally: Yep! And thanks to you for so much of it.
ReplyDeletePeggy: Yes, it was great fun. As in the past, what was on the chairs was the best part.
Darlene: It was Saturday, and thanks!
D.N.: Yes, I do resemble both sides of the fambly. Sorry you weren't here. You'd have enjoyed it, too.
Happy birthday, yesterday, and today we start "and ever after" the wish is you have happy days. Fun to get together with friends and looks like you did!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your apartment - the wall color, paintings, and the people - great combinations! The D.N.
ReplyDeleteJoared: I had so much fun yesterday, I can't stop talking about it. I may wind up with fewer friends if I don't shut up and go back to my normal, taciturn self. Thanks for the birthday wishes!
ReplyDeleteDN: Have you ever been here? I don't think so. Next time you're in town, beg some time off to come visit!!
Belated birthday felicitations, ME. It's wonderful that you had such a happy get-together!

Hey CC: I would have emailed you this post on the happy day itself, but my laptop was acting stupid again, and I couldn't bring up your email address. Anyway, thanks. We did have a great time!!
ReplyDeleteHappy BIRTHDAY, Aunt Mary Ellen! Lookin' good! Love the pic with you and Sally. I like your little poem...now I have to look up "colcannon," and see what it is.
ReplyDeleteGod bless!
love,

6:09 pm and 50 degrees! wooHOO!
Paula: Colcannon is Irish and one of my favorite foods: mashed potatoes, cabbage, bacon, and onions....something like that, anyway. Just LOVE IT.
ReplyDelete50 degrees in Minnesota!!?? A heat wave!! xo, m.e.
Paula: I just emailed you a you-tube of "the little skillet pot," an Irish song. Hope you can open it and enjoy it.
