    Feliz cumple, George! As I’m coming up on 60, it seems odd to see those years pile up, but may the net enjoyment and continuing love be indefinite.

      Todd, as a lot of my elderly friends are fond of saying, “If I knew I was going to last this long, I would have taken better care of myself!”

    Happy Birthday, George. You’re still 9 months behind Jackie and 7 behind me. Nice looking feast! You can never go wrong with pizza, carrot cake and apple pie.

      Jeff, Diane knows pizza, carrot cake, and apple pie are three of my favorites! I loved them and our guests loved them, too!

      Byron, it’s 62 degrees in Western NY and I’m a big fan of cool weather! It makes my Birthday comfortable and pleasant! My sister in Tucson, Arizona called to wish me a Happy Birthday and told me it’s 103 degrees there. I told her, “You live in Hell!”

        Jeff, and this is only June! What are Arizona and all the Southern States going to be like in July and August!

    Many happy returns! My 74th arrives in August. So far so good. My Dad died at 67 (or 64–there are two different dates of birth in the records) from colon cancer–today, with early screening, he’d have lived longer. Mom made it to 94.

      Fred, thanks for the Happy Birthday wishes! I read in the WALL STREET JOURNAL that new tests are in clinical trials that will identify over 100 cancers…with just a blood test! That would be a huge Breakthrough!

    Happiest of birfdays to you, whippersnapper! If you want to see 76 you’d best go easy on the pie and cake!

    Sorry I am late to the party. Hope you saved me some cake. Happy Birthday, George. And many more to come. 76 for me.

      Patti, age is just a number! Sadly, most of the carrot cake is gone. Diane is saving a piece of Apple Pie for tomorrow. I hope both of us have many more Birthdays to come!

    Happy Birthday, George. The desserts look wonderful and you look happy, and that is what counts. I did not realize that we are so close in age. I am 7 months older than you (like Jeff) but you look younger.

    Happy Birthday George from Europe too to you young man!
    But not even one glass of champagne or at least some nice red wine to go with your lovely food?
    I just hope to be able to continue reading your fantastic blog for a few more years …

      Wolf, champagne and wine just make me sleepy. We served coffee, tea, Diet Pepsi, and root beer to our Birthday Party guests.
