Happy Birthday to Me

We gathered the week after my birthday for cake as we were traveling on my birthday.  I don't think there are enough candles in the house any more; but who's counting.  I like to count grand babies instead.  There were five over for cake; five of fourteen.

 

Cover of "Sing Your Way Home"

This song is in the Primary Children's book of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  I wanted to record it as an introduction to "Sing Your Way" and new song list I am organizing.  It will include songs I h ave sung throughout my life in the shower, or while driving to keep myself awake late at night.  I think in leaving this for posterity others can appreciate a bit who I am.  The songs for the most part will be a Capella as that is how I sing in the shower and the  car.

Happy Birthday to Me

Black 60 August 4.  Sheri met me in town for the South First Friday.  However I had picked up some bug and the experience was dreadful because my tummy was upset.  This resulted in me being down for most of Saturday and Sunday.  However we gathered for cake on Saturday.  We tried out the new fire pit and roasted marshmallows in addition to spice cake.

Progression of My Burn: From Africa to Australia

Shortly after I burned my back, Miranda and Tony said it looked like Africa.  Now it is looking like Australia.  I went to the wound clinic at Valley Medical Center and they removed skin which wasn't healthy, and left the healthy stuff.  Now my back is a nice pinkish red color which is suppose to be healthy.  There are some lighter spots where the bad skin was too stubborn to pull off.  The process was not too painful, however it did leave my back very tender and more sensitive to itches and pain.  Here are some pictures over time.  It is getting better, and the pain is tolerable, and the itching so far hasn't driven me crazy.

Doesn't it look like Australia now.  I think so.  There is some good healthy healing going on, and most importantly; no infection.  We have gone from silvadene to neosporin as an antibiotic but now also have a special yellow bandage we put on too encourage good skin growth.

Manteca Stake Broadway Review: When Your Feet Don't Touch the Ground, Ev...

This is the evening performance.  I was a bit off rhythmically, but the energy was better performing for an all adult audience, especially at the duet part.

Happy 58th Birthday to Me.

We had the birthday party the day before.  That was the day everyone could come.  We had Jeremy Kayla and boys, Charity Anthony and girl, the Normans and then us.  I had asked for mud cake, which is cake made with worms, in this case candy worms.  It was delicious as it has chocolate pudding and crunched Oreos besides.
The actual day of my birthday Sheri and I went to the temple which was reopening after a couple months closure for remodel and cleaning.

Happy 57th to Me

 Tony lit the candles, Camberly visited with Charity and Anthony, Charity cut my hair, Charity made the cake, spice with butterscotch frosting.  Instead of 57 candles we did five in a group, and seven in a group.

My gosh, I look like a dork in those shorts with the red shirt.  I need to remember that.

 I did the blowing, and got them all out but one, and Tony got the honors of cleaning up.  Cake was served with ice cream, but I just had cake.  I love spice cake with butterscotch frosting.  My mom use to make this.  Charity gave me an extra cake to make later.

 Anthony on the left.  Miranda was also there but she was taking the pictures.
