partay

 

You may not know this—I hadn't thought about it—but in time of pandemic one does not blow out the candles on the cake. One may, however, at a rainy 40th birthday party, eat cake, have hot cocoa with whipped cream and hot cider with spiced rum and champagne and cotton candy and lots of other treats. 

   The lollipop girls enjoyed many.

And then there was the poutine et al from the French fry truck.

 

There were Gasners abounding, as well as a few Dowlings.

We wrapped it up late with a fire and kareoke, which the kids loved, and a fine rendition of "Baby Got Back" by the birthday girl and her best friend from grade school.
