We all toasted to the occasion and enjoyed the cake after I tried to blow out the three candles. Thank-goodness there weren't 60 of them. Thank-you Lynn and Joyce for making my birthday a special one!
To the three Divas!
Lynn thought I needed to go back in time with some old fashioned candy and popcorn... cracker jacks, Nutty club, Jawbreakers and yummy Chicken bones with the funniest being the old Cowboy Bubblegum cigarettes.The Nutty club popcorn ( like Lucky elephant pink popcorn) had the best prize...a nice set of Vampire fangs! The crackerjacks tasted pretty darn good and the chicken bones were the best! Thanks Lynn for that walk down memory lane...and remember those wafer rainbow candies...they used to be about 5 cents a roll.. but I bet not now!
More toasts
Mattie and Abbi join in the festivities
My beautiful gift... amongst many other treats, "Set in Stone" by Eileen Pederson. It is about all the rock walls and the builders of them, in Trail , over the years. I can honestly say that my hand ran over many of those stones,especially on the Look out Street wall over the years . There were many walls that even as a kid, drew our attention as to their detail, size and ingenius placement to hold Trail's hills and roads in place, winter and summer.

The curious thing is that the author is living in Lynn's old house on Neilson Street, and Lynn got to take her own walk down memory lane when she went to visit Eileen. Such a small world!
I've started to read it and already, I am enchanted by the stories and details of the entriguing history of each wall ,when it was built and who built it. The history that has been brought to light is amazing. Thank-you to my two sweet angels in my life... Lynn and Joyce, for making my birthday extra special with the beautiful book and all of your sweet treats! Much appreciated!
I had to laugh as Mattie presented me with his own birthday card and what he called "The Bomb" He dropped a tube of construction paper from the upstairs so it would spill its contents all around me, down below, in the bedroom.Like confetti, various shapes and colours of paper fell out and each had a little Birthday message on it... 6-oh! Happy Birthday...I don't think he said "older than dirt" but there were a few sayings not too far removed... He is such a sweet little guy..and Abbi made sure she signed a cute card for me from her and her brother... It was delightful to have them over for the week-end. Now I can't wait for my own granddaughters to come, in a few weeks.!
