“Be In Good Spirits” on your Birthday

When you turn 50, all bets are off.  You can ‘whine a little, WINE a lot!’  Milestone birthdays often bring around self medication in this socially acceptable form. Um.  Maybe any birthday???  So, here is my ode to said alcoholic category;  they may not all be considered “spirits” but they are all libations of a sort.  Happy 50th Akemi!  May your second half of the century be even better.

Turning 21

Now 100% legal!  Two fantastic young men turned 21 last week; two different personalities called for 2 different cookie genres.  I had trouble with color bleeding on the beer mugs but, luckily, our birthday boy was in it for the sugar rush.  Used a different colorant for the yellow so maybe that is why it bled?  I’ve trolled the web looking for answers but will certainly take any advise from the all-pro cookie crowd out there.  Win some, lose some.

Got to love Ben Franklin and his wisdom (see pic).
