No flights to AZ ... or wherever. Had some errands to run, and was working on gettting my cell phone working. And I'm to go out to supper with son and his lady soon. Thanks for all of the good wishes. I'm thankful to have good health (except for a varicose vein or two, requiring some pressure stockings. But it's seldom that, when I ask it to do something, my body sayd, "Listen, you darned old fool - I can't do that any more!" Hope yo all have a great week. ole joyful

At the investment group last night, said that I had onl.y 4 hours left to enjoy being 84 ... ... and, they didn't even sing "Happy birthday ... " to me ... ... plus, at the after-meeting for a few to continue the discussion at the arches fast food place, after ... I had to buy my own coffee! As for that candle on the cupcake at the ROMEOs last week, that I held at arm's length ... I did get it blown out! To some merriment ... who thought that there was a blow-hard ... in this august group! 'Twould be quite a job - to get 85 candles on a cupcake: wall-to-wall fire, right! The temp. around here is warmer today - about 20 F. I goofed, earlier - drove right by the licence renewal place and forgot the need to go in. Looking for another place in the city at present. Half decent day, all told. ole joyfuelledf

Thanks to all of you for your good wishes. Most of the snow had gone by yesterday, but we had a bit more, overnight - for which I'm thankful ... for when I backed the car out of the shed and returned to close the door ... there was a slim trail of brown stuff going out to the car. I backed it up a bit ... and there was a brownish pool under where the motor had been. Was it oil? If so, and I drove it ... soon no oil and seized engine. Brake fluid? Tranny fluid? Drove running engine uphill, coasting down, about 8 mi. to the church to have coffee with the old guys. No trail anywhere near where I entered the parking lot or under the car. Drove to the other church, 5 mi. or so, to tell the minister of an interesting speaker, Naomi Klein, on climate change and our current world situation in town tonight. I was noticing that the gas gauge seemed to be dropping much more quickly than usual. No residue trails visible ... but I'd coasted in. Drove ... carefully, through town, in case the droppings were brake fluid ... to the garage. Fuel filter rusted out, must be replaced, along with some of the gas line. Fifteen minute walk to the library, to talk to you guys ... and it's about time to wander back, as they may have the car fixed. Good thing I visited the bank yesterday, as I was almost broke, before. Thanks again for all of your good wishes - I value my relationship with you folks, some of whom I've met IRL. ole joyfuelled ... with a bit o' fuelling help from gasoline ... and furnace oil

Happy 89.5 Ed. And I hope we are ALL around to wish you a happy 90th. edited to add: yes you can freeze the cake. I wrap fairly large pieces (uncut) in plastic wrap or a ziploc getting as much air out as possible. Then wrap again in foil. Label and freeze. Depending on how much you have left, you could freeze multiple packages to enjoy later, just don’t wait too long or it will be dry.

Thanks, everyone. I appreciate your good wishes - and comments. None of them risque ... interesting.

I've been enjoying it, so far.

Iva Mae gave me some Amish bread starter, I made a batch, gave away one of four "babies", put the other three on top of fridge for warmth ... but box was on unsolid base, as they moved ...

... "Ker-bang!" ... I heard, from another room.

They'd fallen to the floor ... two intact, but one broke, some stuff on the floor.

Got the mess cleaned up and things back in order.

The batch that I made last week was sort of like banana bread - Iva'd given me a slice of hers at her house when I got the original, so that I knew what standard to which I had to measure up.

Pension cheques came in - took 'em to the bank ... and the third one gets automatically deposited on the First ...

... so I'm in the black, again!

Power went off about 1 a.m., flickered a few minutes later - then nothing.

Sat for a bit.

Felt my way to the bedroom, dropped slippers, pulled back a couple of blankets, crawled into bed, in my clothes, under the couple of blankets.

Couldn't go to sleep (unusual), so got up about 1:30, used flashlight to light a candle, called the power company, canned message, "Si vous voulez parler en francais, dites, "francais" ..., etc. Then said they knew there was an outage in our area, it would be back on about 4, instructions what to do in case of dire straits.

Tried working with the candle for a while ... like Dennis the Menace said when they were having candles on the supper table, "I don't think it's romantic ... I think it's *dark*!

Went to bed.

Power on about three ... not sure whether I hadn't gone to sleep (doubtful) or whether the lamp coming on woke me up (also doubtful) ... but I did some things for a while.

Went to bed again.

Slept till well after daylight.

They say that it's convenient to work in the daylight, whadda ya think?

Quite windy and chilly today. I'm at the library now, going to visit a friend, then attend monthly investment group meeting after supper.

Shoppping in the meantime.

Thanks for the good wishes, everyone.

I'm thankful that I think that I haven't taken a pill in 30 years or so.

And I'm one year short of 80.

Enjoy the rest of your week, all.

Just me ... Ed. Joyful, as most of the time! And rather old, into the bargain!

Ed, I hope that your birthday is at least HALF as wonderful as you are. You are one of my personal favorites here, and I know that if a post has your name on it, it will be informative, entertaining, and have some of that wry wit that is so endearing.

I wish you a Happy, Healthy year full of Goodness and Grace :-)

Now I just gotta ask because I just thought of it.

OJ,
Is it really your birthday, or is it a fake one to protect your personal info?

and do you or Iva Mae have a recipe for the 'starter?
