Ernie’s birthday

Yesterday we celebrated Ernie’s 84th birthday. I ordered Chinese delivered. For starters, we had egg rolls into which I had put birthday candles. With the egg rolls, we had Maker’s Mark premium bourbon, one of his (and my) favorite drinks. We’ve had this bottle for more years than I can remember. It’s very expensive and drunk only on very special occasions.

As you can see, my egg roll also had a candle stuck into it. Of course, Ernie blew out both of them.

With dinner we had a split of champagne.

and quiet piano jazz by Bill Evans.

And here are the flowers I had delivered to him.

Alstroemeria, aka Peruvian lilies, shipped from the field in South America.

A lovely little party to celebrate another milestone–84 years.

Astromeria were one of my mother’s favorites. I’m going to have to try the candle in the eggroll trick — you sure know how to celebrate!
