As of yesterday, I have begun my 79th orbit around the sun, grateful for the previous 78 journeys.

| The flashing Happy Birthday that we now use and reuse instead of candles. It was presented with the birthday pie. |
Family celebration was pizza at Sha's for Sunday supper. The pics were most atrocious, but here is one of me receiving my birthday pie — a delish, crumble-top blueberry. Nowadays, we often tend to do birthday pies or whatnots instead of cakes. We actually did birthday cookies for JJ.
I took a picture-in-picture selfie using the FB app.
Afterward, we took a short walk to the bridge. We took looking upriver before picking up a chocolate chip cookie for dessert at the Blue Spoon. I did manage to get the cookie home before consuming it, but it was a close call.

Happy birthday, AC!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, AC!! And many more.
ReplyDeleteAnd here's to many more! xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful celebration. Happy 78th! You're the same age as my brother Steve though he beat you to that number as his celebration is in July.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday AC! I like the idea of birthday pies. In fact, I like it so much that I think my wife has made me a sour cherry pie for my birthday for the last 20 years!
ReplyDeleteAh yes, I remember something about you and sour cherry pie.
DeleteLooks like you have a wonderful Day! The pie sounds delicious!

It really was.
DeleteHappy Birthday! Pie & a cookie are superior than birthday cake, good choice!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! You and Sue look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. Happy 😊 Birthday 🎂 🥳 to you. You and Sue look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYou're looking pretty dapper for your 78th! LOVE your flashing sign. I didn't know you all had your own Mississippi. I gotta look that up. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteIt's not a huge river -- a tributary of a tributary of the St Lawrence.
DeleteThat looks like an excellent birthday! We did pies a couple of times over the years.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! I like the shirt - it looks smart and comfortable.
ReplyDeleteI do like it. It will be good in cool weather.
DeleteHappy Birthday, John! I love the colors in your new shirt and would also love that blueberry crumble. Two of my favorite things together!
ReplyDeleteIt was an excellent crumble topping. Possibly the best that I've had.
DeleteLooking good. Happy Birthday to you.
ReplyDeleteLooking very dapper...both of you! Wishing you many, many more rotations..
ReplyDeleteA very Happy Birthday!!!! Your new shirt is very nice….. I may show the photo to my wife to potentially inspire her to look for one of a similar color scheme for my birthday in a few months!
ReplyDeleteI love pie. I love cake, and I love cookies (and hell, I love ice cream too). If I were to be given an option for my birthday, I am not sure which I would most prefer!
We do not have Freska….. but whatever you had LOOKS very tasty. I am not sure, but it looks like cubed potatoes and cheese at least, but there may be other hidden ingredients as well.

DeleteI'd say you had a pretty fantastic day! Happiest of birthdays to you -- yes, cherish every year, as I know you do. (I would pick a birthday pie or cookie over cake too -- and ice cream, please!)
ReplyDeleteNot that I don't also like cake, but blueberry pie is hard to beat.
DeleteBless you friend! May you and your honey enjoy many, many, many more trips in good health and Aloha! Thank you so much for your posts and comments. Appreciate you
ReplyDeleteWishing you the happiest birthday, dear friend. Your last couple years have been a tough go but here you are, still.out walking and taking pictures and eating very well! Now, here's to a year of good health, and many more walks and selfies with Sue!
ReplyDeleteHappy 🎂 Birthday wishes to you, AC, and sounds like you had a nice celebration with family and the new shirt looks good too. My birthday treat would be ice cream, but a chocolate chip cookie is delicious too 😋 and good for you on waiting to devour it., such patience.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday. Your 78th trip was a bit of a struggle for you. I hope your 79th goes much easier on you. Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect day!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday AC! Great looking shirt...and pie! Keep on walking, enjoying food that is pretty incredible (a bowl?) and taking those photos!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, AC. We're grateful for your journeys too.
ReplyDeleteA playful and enjoyable day
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday. You should be good for a few more.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday, AC! You are looking wonderful and dapper as per usual and your beautiful wife is her lovely usual self as well! You and my father are almost the same age, about a month or two apart. Both of you have had a tough 2025, but here is hoping for better days ahead!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I’m team birthday pie (or amazing cookie) as well.
ReplyDeleteBelated best wishes, AC. And many more!
