We celebrated my birthday yesterday. I had quite a bit of cake! One of my sweet friends gave me a fleet of Squishmallows! I love them! Do you?
Another friend took me to breakfast and the waitress gave us an extra birthday pancake. Yum! My sister gave me a big gift card so I ordered a soup maker. Have you heard of a soup maker? It makes quick smooth or chunky soup. I saw it on the Stitched by Mrs. D vlog. She made it look like such an efficient way to make smaller batches of soup. I'll let you know how it works when it comes.
I went to Bill's yearly conference up in the mountains and it was so beautiful up there and the friends there are so inspiring and so loving. Pure joy!
We've had three lovely granddaughters staying here while their parents are in Europe. It's been so much fun. Bill and I both love every encounter we have with our kids and grands. Brad and April came down here for a birthday dinner early in the week and we enjoyed their family's company very much. I go to Jeff and Christie's next week to stay with the boys while they go away for their anniversary. I will love spending time there!
We are savoring our grandchildren as they grow up. Sam and Liz go to homeschool/art school nearby and it's a huge blessing.
Millie helped me move all my art stuff BACK upstairs and I would like to sort out my sewing and my ironing. I have quite a few fun domestic tasks to do. I'm grateful.
I have more birthday celebrating ahead of me (I love it when birthdays last a long time!)
I hope you are well and feeling encouraged about your daily doings. Is there any specific project you are going to partake of this year? Are you cooking or baking anything exciting?
We (the girls and I) are going to watch The British Baking Show on Netflix tomorrow night! It's the first one of the season! Yay!
God be with you, sweet visitors. Thank you for stopping by! xoxoxo

Happy Birthday Pom Pom, however long it lasts! Have fun!
Happy Birthday! I am glad you are having some extended celebrations; that's lovely. So are your pumpkins. Enjoy your grands and watching the British Baking Show. I am still here though I don't post blogs anymore, just keeping my reading list updated. Love to you and yours! Your life seems very blessed and happy. God is good.
Happy Birthday.
Your pumpkins turned out great. Such perfect shapes!! That's a lot of pancakes and they sure look good.
Truly those are darling pumpkins! God really blessed that pumpkin patch. Will you cook with some of them? I guess I have given up on pumpkins and gone back to growing butternut squash, which should be about the same to grow, but I only got a couple of mini mini pumpkins one year in spite of great effort, whereas I usually have success with butternuts. I'm going out to harvest them right now :-) and plant peas in that place.
It's such a gift that your grandchildren are near, and that you still have plenty of enthusiasm for helping with them. Your family is functioning in a very traditional way <3
Happy birthday to you, dear Pom Pom!
Happy Belated Birthday my friend! I love my grandchildren more than life itself too. I worry for their futures. I treasure all the texts they send me, especially the ones that say 'Night night Nana, love you loads'!Haven't watch Bake Off yet but I hear they're a nice bunch of folks this year. Enjoy.xxx
What a fun birthday celebration! I love that you have so much fun/interaction with your grandkids. Our kids are getting older and we don't have any real 'littles' anymore. However, there is the blessing of having older grandkids that enjoy spending time with me. Love the pumpkins and the little squishy things- I have never seen those before! Let us know about the Soupmaker~. xo Diana
Happiest of birthdays to you, dear Pom Pom. God bless you and keep you. I'm glad your celebrations are stretching out. What a very fun pancake birthday cake that is! A soupmaker? Do let us know how you like it. Your pumpkins are very cute and abundant!! Happy Fall to you!
Wishing you a happy birthday, it's so good when the celebrations are stretched out.
All the best Jan
Happy Birthday! many happy returns. How nice that you can watch The British Bakeoff on Netflix - it's fun - we are watching the latest series here and look forward to it - there's also the British Sewing Bee if you can find it which is similar but sewing (obviously haha). I have a soupmaker. I make soup with the veg from my allotment - this week we will be having cream of parsnip and then leek and potato - we have soup lunches :) It takes about 30 minutes, makes enough for 3 people and saves a lot of messing around.

Belated birthday wishes, Pom Pom. Your celebrations sound like so much fun. I can see why Squishmallows are so popular. They are so happy and soft. Perfect thing to cuddle up with. I've bought a few for my grandson.
I am very impressed with your pumpkin haul. Good job!
Happy Birthday (BELATED!) lovely Pom-Pom! I love your Squishmallows- so cute!
That pile of pancakes looks amazing!!! You've made me yearn for pancakes.
The pumpkins are SO impressive! From ONE packet of old seeds! Kxx
Happy Bleated Birthday. It looks like you have been quite busy.
