We celebrated Jim's birthday on Saturday by asking Jeff and Susan to join us for lasagna and ice cream cake. That is probably Jim's favorite dinner and dessert. However, lasagna is labor intensive so the birthday boy did his part to get the meal in the oven and on the table. I have made a list of the layers in order next to the recipe in my notebook of favorite recipes and Jim called the layers out one by one while I put them in the pan. The ice cream cake was a small one--but our freezer can handle only a small one so we cut it in four pieces and enjoyed every bite--no candles but we did sing Happy Birthday! For Jeff and Susan it is just a ten minute ride from their place to ours and we are so happy that we can make that trip often!
Jim heard from two of his siblings and also from Dan and Alex and Laura. We have several friends who have birthdays within a day or two of his so greetings were exchanged with them. I hope and pray that my dear husband has many more birthdays in good health and that I can celebrate them with him.
Sounds like a wonderful bday celebration. Best wishes to Jim . Nancy
