Thank y'all so much for your encouraging words whenever I get to bathing in self-pity. Who knew sciatica has such a long shelf life!
So anyway. Here we go again ... Happy New Year to me!
Since the time I spotted this giant cup's 'twin' on Jon's blog, I knew I had to find one for myself. It's not just for December 31 anymore!
Irish Cream's a favorite, but I'm content to simply enjoy the imitation flavor, particularly at 6AM!
In honor of our recent freezing temps, I began another batch of white chicken chili -- before forgetting I'd no cream cheese. Aerosol whipped cream to the rescue!
Our "Gathering" group was scheduled to meet for our monthly chat-and-chew.
New to me, 243 South sure didn't disappoint! It's going on the short list.

My precious Feral Friends!
I'm not especially big on birthday cake, but Publix's key lime pie was calling my name. It's what's for supper!
Taking a page from 'Ma', I'm going to put 3 candles atop -- one each for the Past, Present and Future. Don't you love that?

No matter!
Let's raise a glass to kindness yet, for Auld Lang Syne.
Thank you all for coming along!
Hugs, Myra
I wish you many happy returns of the day!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I like the idea of three candles. I may have to borrow that idea for my next birthday. You and your friends look like a fun bunch!
ReplyDeleteWhat's that saying about only the good die young? No! Only the good hold on, Myra. Happy Birthday and all the wonderful blessings that God knows you have earned and that you deserve. Love you, friend!
ReplyDeleteI love your birthday, one of my best friends has the same one. Hope you had a great birthday. I love the candle idea - three. And I love the meme! ♥♥
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I hope you had a wonderful day. ❤️
ReplyDeleteI can join you on striking Not Dying Young off the list. ha ha ha and I LOVE the sponge cake and that gorgeous big CUP... Sorry I missed this yesterday. Happy 2nd day of your new year. The restaurant looks super. Love you
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!! And Publix is the bomb, lol. Wishing you a lovely day my friend.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday dear friend. And many wonderful returns filled with joy, good health and whatever you desire. Saying a special prayer for you.
ReplyDeleteGod bless, Mevely.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU! key lime pie is so very good! Enjoy. Thanks for the mention of my idea for the 3 candles. It does save a lot of candles melting in the frosting of your cake/ pie. I hope you had a wonderful birthday! Love, ma
ReplyDeleteYep, the 3 candles are a great idea. I loved the graphic that said, "I have crossed off the worry of dying young. " GOOD ONE! Myra, we always enjoy coming here. Sweet and hug the OLD guy tight, it will warn off the freeze!
ReplyDeleteLove you girl, It is always nice to be able to start another year. Loved the salmon shot, looks delicious!! And key lime pie ! YES!
The best your way!!
Happy NEW Year !!!
ReplyDeleteYou my friend know how to celebrate.
I'm amazed about the whipped cream in the chili. I would nave never thought of that. I bet you have invented a new recipe!!
Praying for your sciatica issues and give hugs to that man of yours.
Love the name of your "Group" Feral is terrific.
Hugs

The white chicken chili sounds delicious. Your meal looks delicious. Yum on the pie!
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy Birthday yesterday! Sounds like you've had a wonderful time celebrating living and enjoying life! That's what matters! Love the "sponge cake". That's funny. Love seeing you with your friends! That's really special! Love that bowl! And your idea of using the whipped cream instead of cream cheese is really amazing! How did it taste? I bet it was just as good!! (maybe better?) Sounds so good. And that pie sounds marvelous too. Who needs cake when you can have pie? That's always been my thought on the subject! LOL. (((Hugs))) and Happiness and Best Wishes of the day.
ReplyDeleteI am late getting here, but do love the 3-candle tradition!! Adopting it going forward! Sending love and hugs, Myra!! xo
ReplyDeleteI'm sure sad that I missed your "Big Day". Happy Birthday wishes to you...just a little late!! I do like your way of celebrating Myra. 3 candles instead of (50) is a lot easier to blow out. Key Lime Pie..this is what I call CELEBRATING!! Hope you had a fabulous day!! 🪻 🌸
ReplyDeleteI'm annoyingly late, but I always remember your birthday. Wishing everything positive and sunny. And, of course, green carnations with cherished memories. Jon
ReplyDeleteThree candles is a good idea.
DeleteLooks like I'm late for your birthday ~ Happy, Happy Late Birthday to you!! That's a good picture of the Feral Friends, I see you there on the end. :)) I like the 3 candle tradition, I think I'm gonna steal it for myself. ((hugs))
