Christy's Birthday

So, it looks like I've lost all the pictures from my birthday. My poor phone froze for about 45 minutes, and then said it had a damaged SD card, and now, there appears to be no pictures on the phone.
So, you'll have to just imagine my cake.
It looked something like this...

Note: I just grabbed this from a google images search 'cause it it looked similar. Curt did not make this cake.

Actually the cake he made was a lot prettier than this, and I had cool pictures of the cake, and then the cake decorated with blueberries and mint leaves. I also had pictures of the cake sliced so you could see the yummy blueberry filling he put in between each layer. When technology malfunctions it can be so depressing.

Curt and I took the day off on my birthday. We spent the day doing a few projects around the house, and getting ready for Mom and Dad Doucette, Nathan and PJ to come to dinner that evening.

We had these delicious shish-ka-bobs on the grill. I had pictures of these... but they were on my phone too. We had beef and shrimp for meats, orange and green peppers, onions, peaches, lemons and squash to put on the shish-ka-bobs.

I pulled out the lazy susan that had not fit correctly on our square table, and it looked lovely in the middle of our new table. I also used the lazy susan dishes. If my brother is able to recover the pictures I'll post them.

While getting one more set of shish-ka-bob skewers at Bilo, Curt bought me a dozen red roses! They are just starting to open.

These two pictures made it because Curt wanted me to download and email them to him that day.
At least you can see two pictures from my birthday.

They match our red kitchen just perfectly! And provided a lovely centerpiece. The vase fit right in the middle of the lazy susan!

The fellowship with family was great! I opened Birthday cards, and Curt gave me a lovely red teapot. I had been wanting a teapot that could heat water on the stove and would whistle when the water was hot. All winter we have tea at breakfast. It helps us brave the cold weather to the library door. The teapot is just perfect!

Really, my birthday started the day before. I really wish I had the pictures I took. When Curt and I came out to go to lunch, three of the library Graduate Assistants had decorated my car! They had written all over it "Happy Birthday Christy!" "RT AS & ET", "It's a Birthday" "Have a Party"! They also had hung streamers from the bumper, and inside the car! It was much better than celebrating my birthday by hiding all the chairs in the library. (That's what they did last year.) The only hidden thing this year was my mouse, and Curt helped me find that pretty quickly. 

Well, I will find out Monday if anything can be saved from my poor phone card. My brother is an IT whiz and he has promised to look into fixing my missing picture problem. We'll see if I'll be able to share any more!
