Happy Birthday to me...its just not the same. First of all I had to take the kids to school. I put a red-white & blue ribbon in Kaitlyn's hair and Griffen had an American flag sticker on his shirt. His teacher gave him a merit for wearing it (reward system in their school-10 merits=Bronze, 25=Silver, 50=Gold, every half term).
I then hosted coffee morning-an event in our village with the local women every fortnight during the school year. I got asked to have one during the summer bc of our garden. So I figured I'd have my own party. It was a pleasant 90 in the garden with hardly any shade-so I served some water infused with cucumber and lime with lots of ice instead of coffee. The offer of iced coffee was too 'foreign' I guess.
It was a nice morning-complete with the planes practicing for the airshow this weekend. At one point I think what was a Spitfire, Hurricane and Mustang trio flew over, and one of which had the American flag on it. My neighbors husband popped by just as that happened and asked if I enjoyed the flyover he arranged.
Jason gave me a large glass jar for me to brew my own iced tea and a nice Polish crystal water pitcher. We ended the day with dinner at Chili's (had to go somewhere American). Missed the big family get togethers and the fireworks.
