birthday redux

i need to be getting back into the books. the next six weeks are going to be very busy with writing essays. a good result on a mid-term paper has me feeling encouraged but there’s now 3 assignments due by mid-December. 

but before that, i’m rewinding time back a couple of weeks…
through the wonder that is Skype, after breakfast with Ewan and the crew in Toronto, Joel threw me a birthday party in Nashville. there was cake and flowers cut fresh from the garden, and a round of Go Fish with the family. my parentals dashed to the supermarket and supplied me with cake to eat here. highlight was then, by some kind of magic :), being able to simultaneously blow out candles on both sides of the atlantic. 

Joel took some photos, posted here with gratitude for the care and love in it…
