Happy Birthday Party!

The birthday was really yesterday, and possibly even part of the day before (since he was born in Tokyo...), but we celebrated today. Not everyone could be here, but those who came were rewarded with Orange Creamsicle cupcakes (a boxed mix) and ice cream. I'd intended to bake a pie, but one of those nasty nauseating headaches landed me on the couch instead. Cupcakes seemed a viable option, and they looked good wearing blue candles. It was a low-key affair with just two grandchildren, four children, and a favorite son in law. After the party dissipated and Grandma had settled into working on her puzzle, James and I took our first orchard walk of the season. It felt so good to be out walking and climbing hills.
