Hee…hi Koe. Well, I gave her a framed photo of herself with two of her daughters and her two grandchildren that I had taken a few years ago, and I gave her a mace cake, which I give her every year. What’s a mace cake, you ask? It’s just a yellow cake of any kind with the spice, mace, added. When my aunt was young, she didn’t like cake frosting like my dad and uncle, so my grandmother would make her the mace cake. Once I heard that, I started making it for her. She is my dad’s older sister…you may remember her from the video I made.
Lotsa birthdays goin’ around, apparently…I was smiling like that after yoga on the beach, and my afternoon massage…and evening pina coladas (also on the beach)…even if I haven’t spent as many years earning my smiles as your adorable aunt… YogaforCynics´s last blog post ..Pressure Drop (El Yogi Cynico en Costa Rica Parte Uno)
As Lt. Kaffee (Tom Cruise…I know, ugh kinda, though personally I think this was one of his best characters) in A Few Good Men said, “And the hits just keep on coming.”…or birthdays, in this case. Hence, the self-indulgent birthday banner this month. Need I emphasize self-indulgent since this is a blog? Hmmm…
My auntie would be happy to hear that she’s wearing a yoga/massage/pina colada/on the beach smile, though she’d lose it real quick if she were to know I’d posted her pic here…then again, she does know me to some extent, so maybe not. Especially not, if she knew she was described as “adorable.” :o) She’s my dad’s older sister, pretty much the matriarch of the family since my grandmother died.
She has a wonderfully endearing smile. :)

Thanks, Lana. I would pass that on, but she’d probably kill me if she knew I posted this…she hasn’t even seen it yet. But she does laugh easily.
…and looking happy…

Oh yeah…with all her family around her she’s happy as a clam. The gifts didn’t hurt!
Happy Birthday to Aunt Nellie. What did you get her for her birthday? Are you at liberty to tell us?

Ha! Sorry you asked, huh? :o)
Happy Birthday to your aunt. That’s one big happy smile there

Thanks, ann. She would love the wishes if I were to tell her…sorry, but she’d kill me if she saw her photo up here. But that was such a nice grin!

Aaaah, that’s a lovely photo. Certainly doesn’t need words at all to convey the happiness.
