Surprise Birthday Supper and Two Awards

Late this afternoon the phone rang and my niece indicated that she and her parents were on the road and would be at my house in half and hour. They arrived with a big box which held a full meal my sister had just cooked at their home some 50 miles south of here. Since tomorrow, Monday, is my birthday, it turned out as a joyous celebration including singing Happy Birthday to me!


To avoid having dishes to wash, she also brought square dinner and dessert paper plates, napkins and cups. They are white with a pretty pink, lavender and yellow tulip pattern.





The menu was thin spaghetti, topped with Fri Chik chunks (vegetarian chicken), red peppers and sauteed mushrooms in an Alfredo sauce, garden-fresh zucchini, and French string beans.






Beverage was cranberry juice with Fresca. Dessert was walnut coffee cake and vanilla bean ice cream.

Earlier today I was truly touched to be given two awards by Nancie of More Than Conquerors. Nancie uses her blog to share her personal story of living with clinical depression. She also uses her blog to give much useful links and information to help others find the inspiration, strength and knowledge important to living with such disorders. I am encouraged to discover her dedication to this effort to help others who might be suffering from the same malady.

Due to my own time constraints for my blogging activities, I will pass each of these awards to two blog friends. Each of these has a blog which is inspiring and informative.
