Grandma’s Birthday Confessions (For Sunday Whirl Wordle 620)

 

This might have been a better choice for Grandma’s Birthday Cake.

Grandma’s Birthday Confessions

A trick of fate has caused my skin to rumple, thin and bruise.
My limbs are merely spindles and my breasts simply refuse
to remain in their stations!  My locks once shiny gold
have dimmed to dullest silver, thus making me look old!
Of late, I find the edges of things have grown less clear.
I bump myself on door frames and on table tops. I fear
I may have a slight problem with my peripheral vision
which upon occasion has created much derision
on the part of youngsters, whose laughter, I suppose
has something to do with the lipstick on my nose.
And if you wonder why my bangs are so oddly fringed,
please don’t blame my hair stylist. I fear that they were singed
when I tried to blow the candles out on my birthday cake.
Who knew they’d use one candle for each year, for heaven’s sake?

The words for Sunday Whirl Wordle 620 were: late edge spindle skin rumple  fate trick slight singe dim limb

Birthday Pyrotechnics–Cee’s Oddball Challenge, Week 27

This is Cricket, my friend Audrey’s dog.  What is she so mesmerized by?

IMG_1375Yes, it might be my carrot cake birthday cake–

Version 2 but, I think it was probably the candle !!!!

This candle was furnished by the bakery that made the cake.  My friend who brought it to me said it came with a warning not to lean over the cake while she lit it!  (This is what happens when you celebrate your birthday on the Fourth of July!!)  Thanks, Audrey.  It was the only fireworks i saw this Independence Day.  In Mexico, where fireworks are set off every day of the year for one purpose or another: fiestas, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, national holidays, Saints Days, elections, christenings, first communions, confirmations, church holidays, Day of the Dead–not one was set off for the Fourth of July!!!  (Well, except in my dining room.)
