Dungarees Ablaze said : for your assignment lets hear about your favorite “Birthday”, it needn’t be your actual birthday just a "birthday" celebration. You can use one you planned, one you attended, one you crashed, just a fun time for this FUN MONDAY’S assignment, and of course you can use one of your very on Birthdays.
I don't remember any of my birthdays as a special event not even as a child. We celebrated of course and I got gifts but then I have a complete black out. The only one I remember clearly was my 65th birthday last week here and here and my "round birthdays"
As I have my birthday in July either we were on holidays or everybody was on holidays and I celebrated just with the three of us.
I remember vaguely
On my 30th birthday I was pregnant until under my chin and it was very hot. I remember I got a glass of Champagne and after that the baby played football in my belly.
My 40th birthday we celebrated at the Belgian coast with friends and apparently a lot of Champagne because the little friend of my son counted the bottles and asked me the price then he calculated the amount we had spent ! I will always remember that it had been 12 bottles but don't remember how many people we were. He was then 10 years old and became an auditor in a big swiss bank where he still works today and makes a lot of money ! I wonder if he became that because of my birthday !
The 50th I celebrated in the Sequoia park under the largest Giant Sequoia tree, General Sherman, (volume 1,487 cubic metres (52,510 cubic feet), the world's largest known tree). I ate an hamburger under the tree because I was hungry. I don't remember if it was a big or a small one !
Of my 60th I don't remember anything, I wasn't very well at that time. I think I had a glass or two or three or more of wine at the Waterloo Lion watching tourists. (shortly after I gave up drinking wine)
And now I have to wait for my 70th. Maybe I will spend it at the Northpole in an igloo or in Amazonia amongst an Indian tribe.
I wonder how he can give a birthday kiss ??
