Fifty – Nine Years

Posted in Day In The Life by RobynsSimpleLife

Today we celebrated my husbands fifty-ninth birthday. We had a nice day together that we also shared with our best friends Bill & Linda.

The temperature outside was a balmy thirty some odd degrees but the love shared on this day made for a nice warm and cozy day together celebrating my husband. I had so many thoughts and feelings when I woke up this morning, mostly, thankfulness. We decided that we would stay home, I would make a nice dinner and we’d have some birthday cake and that’s exactly what we did and I thought I would share some photos of the day with you.

Enjoy!

This is my handsome birthday boy..

A kiss to start the day!

I forgot to take a photo of the dinner we had. I made a nice ham along with some green beans, a salad and some biscuits. I did however take a video of us singing Happy Birthday to my handsome man. Yeah, don’t turn your sound up too loud because we sound like a few suffering cows. What can I tell ya, singing is not our strong suit.

Then it was time to cut the cake !

After cake, we, meaning Me, Lou, Bill & Linda decided to take some photos but Bill, our resident comedian decided to goof around. He always makes us laugh..

This is myself and my bestie Linda

And of course even though with time boys turn into men they are still always little boys at heart. They look like two little boys playing in the backyard. Bill is messing around and Lou has this intent look on his face while he’s watching Bill play with my salt and pepper shakers as if they are nine years old again and Lou can’t wait to see what Bill will do next.. LOL

And then it was time to say G’night.

Hello again my dear readers!

So, what do most people do when they can’t sleep? Well, usually people will watch television, surf the internet, surf through their newsfeed on Facebook, play a video game etc. All things that of course, will not help us sleep.

Here’s the thing. My husband is not ‘most’ people. Saturday night he couldn’t sleep which sadly, is not out of the norm for him due to his back pain. Usually, yes I said usually, he will get on his PS4 which like most people will do absolutely zero to help him sleep but not this past Saturday night. No, this past Saturday night my husband had a craving. Who says men don’t experience menopause? I’m here to tell you, yes they do!

At two o’ clock in the morning, this! is what my husband was doing…

Yes, thats right.. He was baking a cake! That I must add, he made from scratch. No box stuff for this guy.. He loves to cook and bake. My body just wishes he wouldn’t do it at two am but, you do what can when you can even if it’s two am in the morning! Right here he was making the frosting, yes that was from scratch as well..

He made this beautiful orange sheet cake using “Clementines” in the cake batter and using the rind in the icing.. He’s so creative with food when he’s able. .I’m a good cook but I must concede my husband has always been a better one. I’ve always said he should have went to chef school.
