Both Chris and John have been involved with farming and forestry. To this day Chris is helping her local 4 H tutor young people in the wonders of gardening. |
John worked for our University forestry Dept. and, he too still remains very involved in his work despite the fact that he is "retired".In their spare time life is focused on their FARM caring for 3000 berry bushes.Sounds like a lot of sore muscles to me,but, what do I know.What's a party without a cake....Made to look like a slice from a white birch (how sweet is that) the baker wanted to decorate with pine cones.Pine cones on a white birch??? That must have been what they call "artistic license".The children nixed that idea knowing Dad would have informed them of an "error".
A lesson in square dancing rounded out the event and of course,a good time was had by all as we tried to find the answer to "where did the time go?" ....................said the hobbit

Celebrations are so important to everyone! It is so good for family and friends to gather together and remember. The square dancing sounds like fun - you can mix so many ages at the same time.
Ah, so glad the pine-cones were left OFF the cake!
I realized early in life that you can't wait till later to stop and enjoy the friends you have. It's still difficult for me to justify stopping to smell the roses but,when I do I never regret it.
