Two Birthdays and Another Reason to Celebrate

A dumpling filled with minced lamb and spices.


Another beautiful warm day with several things to celebrate. Just as we were leaving for an outdoor (distanced) birthday party, with Chinese and Indian take-out food, we learned that the election had been called: a wonderful birthday present for the two guests of honor at Jason and Katrina’s house.


On our plates: delicious Roti. Other guests ate at separated tables, of course.

One more bit of good news:  a new rescue puppy
named Lilikoi. At the moment, rescue dogs
are very hard to get in our area, so another celebration!


Happy Birthday to Adam and to Nat! Happy new President to all!

  6. Well, that sounds like a perfect (and yummy) day!
    ... certainly minus the distance...

    Yes, we saw your #46 jogging onto stage!

  7. I had no idea rescue dogs were hard to find in your area. I just hope once the pandemic is over and people return to work full time, the rescue dogs won't become burdens. That is a cutie.

    Happy birthday to your two friends. I am unfortunately not a fan of lamb, but I only had it once before I became a vegetarian.

    We can ALL be happy now, I believe. Yea to Joe and Kamala.

  8. I'm celebrating that the election is officially over and that the good guys won. I hope all will now settle down here. So much anxiety over this.

    It looks like you had a wonderful celebration. We are learning new ways to be together.

    Love the rescue dog. Our pets are helping us through all of this, I think.

    I hope you have a lovely week, Mae.

  9. Congratulations to our country for delivering such a overwhelming presidential win! I'm in for the Chinese and Indian take-out, too :) yummy! Happy belated birthdays :)

    Rescue dogs fill the shelters here :( It's sad, and I love seeing a dog find a forever home.
