( She has to quarantine for a couple of days and be tested negative before she can joined the local crowds- so she did not attend my party, but gave me a call for her BD greetings after her arrival) .
Today,
Monday Dec 20 is my 87th birthday, but if people asked how old am I, I
will tell them I am 78 years old. We celebrated my birthday yesterday
with a simple lunch attended only by 12 adults and 2 kids ( Wesley and
Samantha). Carenna has to quarantine for a couple of days and get
retested before mixing with the local crowds. Two photos were taken by
Lanie at the party and just waiting for it so I could post it in this
blog.
Our menu:
Pancit for long life, adobo sa gata( cooked by Merlet Perlas) and steamed rice for Pinoys
Honey-Baked Ham, Chicken-Macaroni -salad, Potato salad, Star bread, Hawaiian sweet rolls. salad greens, and cranberry sauce for the Kano
For Dessert: Birthday cakes, Pies and ice cream
Drinks: Soft Drinks and Beer and course bottled water.
This party was arranged by my oldest daughter, Dinah who came all the way from Santa Clara. Thank you, Dinah!
Today is also the official date of the expiration of my driving license. I do not intend to renew it. I have been driving since 1960 with a clean record except for one expensive moving violation last year, one parking ticket and a stop with a broken tail light by a Pinoy policeman. My moving violation cost me a fortune ($500). I was caught by the camera running an orange light. Thus David III forbid me to drive, but last night I convinced Dinah that I drive after our short trip from the grocery store. I told her not to tell David III.
Yesterday Carenna my youngest grand daughter came home from school in the Netherlands for her Christmas break. Ditas and her will wait for a couple of days to visit me to be sure her Covid test is negative ( see photo above).
Today is also the birthday of Alix, my other grand daughter ( Dodie oldest daughter) who is 60 years younger than me. Happy Birthday, Alix.
Thank You Dinah for organizing the party and for all the birthday gifts especially the Doordash gift card ( from Dodie and Ruth).
Special to my relatives and friends who were the early BD greeters:
My sisters Amor and Myrla. My FB friends and relatives Renan del Rosario, Isabel Ball, and Genny Mendoza-Nieva from the Philippines. To Celso Mataac, Aida Hulen and Cugie & Terry de La Santa from Maryland. Last but not least to Violeta Laririt and M Villavicencio from Marinduque.
Meanwhile enjoy this photo of my other Christmas arrangement,
