We expected sun and a win. Instead we got rain and a loss. But Jill went on to eat more, and I came home to watch the Oscars. that's another post.

A Birthday, March Blooms, and More Soccer
When we went nursery touring last Wednesday I bought some primroses for the pots on the front porch, and I finally got them planted on Saturday.
It's looking like early spring along the front walk, with mini-daffodils and over-wintered primroses blooming.
Saturday evening we began Jill's birthday celebration by having a family dinner out at BJ's. She got a free dessert. Then the seven of us came back to our house for ice cream sundaes and visiting.
Sunday was Jill's 45th birthday. She had spent Saturday in the mountains, hiking, so she was ready to fill up on free birthday food. Jill has registered at Denny's, i Hop, Baskin & Robbins, Starbucks, Krispy Creme, and Red Robin, so on her birthday she can collect meals or items from each place. She makes a day of it. That's why we had to go out to dinner the day before.
Yes, she had two breakfasts, assorted goodies, and then dinner at Red Robin, with dessert! That little cherry pie in the middle? That was my contribution. I usually bake Jill a cherry pie instead of a cake since that's her favorite. I only had a few cherries in the freezer this year so I made a mini-pie. She said it was a good thing.
Jill did take time out from eating to go to the Sounders season opener. We were there two, of course. Earlier in the week we had been promised sunshine for Sunday, but it was cloudy, and at halftime the temperature dipped below 40 as a huge squall moved in, accompanied by lightning and thunder! At least it stayed dry for the March to the Match for Tom and me, and we all sit high and dry under the stadium roof now, having moved up from the exposed seats.

Rodger’s birthday is also March 4th. Suan’s birthday is in February, but Rodger, Naomi, and Caleb have March birthdays. I took them to eat at Copper River and got that birthday stuff out of the way in one event. Copper River makes unbelievably good stuffed salmon.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday a day late Jill!! Great idea getting lots of exercise before all those desserts.
ReplyDeleteThat is some celebration. Jill is active so she can probably pull it off better than most. Beautiful photos of Jill and her kids.
ReplyDeleteYour primroses look really great in the blue pots. Happy birthday Jill! Impressive that, despite the Sounders loss, Jill was able to eat more. She's a true champion.
ReplyDeleteI am simply amazed at how much Jill seems to pack in and store it... where? Sorry about the Sounders loss. I saw it on the news and thought of you and Tom out there in the elements. :-)
ReplyDeletelove the spring blooms, right now I'm hibernating from my weekend flu attack, feeling a little better each day but not back to normal yet....soon!
ReplyDeleteSpring comes in a hurry . Happy birthday to Jill.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Jill! She must be the Queen of Free Birthday goodies. That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteBelated happy birthday! Aloha from Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your Jill! Around here we have a Mexican place that is open in the summer and you get free fried ice cream...if your birthday is in the summer. Your primroses are lovely they look so healthy! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I'm way late wishing Jill a Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday Jill! It's funny to hear how much she eats and stays so trim and beautiful. I love the pictures.
