Last Friday was DH’s birthday. I made a cherry cake with vanilla buttercream frosting from scratch. His mother made him a similar version except from box that he loved as boy. He’s an old softie who misses the sweet things his mother did for him as a boy and I wanted him to have a bit of that old feeling again. It’s not the same. How can it be? The thing is he really appreciated the effort and he loved the cake!
Long ago, we adopted the use of a single candle on top of our cakes otherwise we’d have to set a mini fire that could go horribly wrong.
I got him a Philips Sonicare DiamondClean toothbrush. This is something he’s wanted and I like the idea that I’m helping to keep his teeth and gums healthy. 🙂
For his birthday dinner he was treated to a home-made pizza one night and then another night over the weekend, I made skillet style chicken fajitas which turned out nicely. I had left over Green Chile rice and refried beans in the freezer that I made a month or so ago when we had taco salads which went great with the fajitas!
We watched a few movies on Amazon Prime Friday night. Chasers (1994) with Tom Berenger, William McNamara, & Erika Eleniak. This was a fun film. It’s up to two Navy SP officers to escort a beautiful female who went UA to prison and she will stop at nothing to escape! We also saw Home Sweet Hell with Catherine Heigl, Patrick Wilson, and Jim Belushi. This one is a dark comedy which isn’t our favorite genre for us but we were able to endure to the end. This story is about Don and Mona Champagne who seem to have the picture perfect marriage until Mona learns of Don’s affair and she’ll do anything to insure this dream isn’t shattered. On Saturday night we switched to Hulu. We streamed two scary flicks – The Lodge (2019) and Feral (2017). Neither was outstanding but we had fun settling in for an evening of spooky fun and that’s all that mattered to us. Of the four movies, Chasers, is the best of the lot. 😉
I’m not hosting a WW linky party until after Labor Day because I’m not in regular groove for mid-week hops and Internet traffic is sluggish, so why worry, right? So…I grabbed the linky code from Comedy Plus’ site for y’all to join and of course when you leave a comment then I’ll know to visit ya, too. 😉 That wraps things up. I’ll be back tomorrow to join the Thursday Art Date with Rain artist community. Thanks for joining me today and may you have a blessed day! X💋X💋, Cathy
