Adventures of a Middle-Aged Drama Queen: Hubby Is Great...Giving Me Chocolate Cake...

One of the best things about birthdays...

...is the cake.

Isn't it a thing of beauty??? Almost too pretty to cut.

Almost.

Second best thing about birthdays...blowing out the candle surrounded by the ones you love.

Life is good.

Peace.
