happy birthday gus #12


Gus turns 12 today which means we have had him for almost 12 years.
He was just seven months old when we got him.

We had his party yesterday evening.
He got a new bike.
He immediately took it outside for a test ride.
I gave him the camo 1/4 zip.
You can tell it's new because it still has the tags.


I made his birthday cake from scratch.
It got rave reviews.
I was asked to put this among our favorite desserts to be made again.
Buttermilk pound cake with caramel icing.


Gus is a fine young man who is set to be on the honor roll this semester.
He plays soccer, basketball, and flag football.
He is going to Romania in a few weeks with his dad.
David often treats his children with trips to interesting places.
He has good manners and a sweet, loving spirit.
He is a huge blessing to us.


Party setting...
It looks a lot like Fall at my new house.


Gus had "sparkler" candles which were a little hard to blow out.
It took him several blows to do the job.
We sang and wished him Happy Birthday before we cut the delicious cake.
I also made him a chicken-broccoli casserole.
We played lawn darts for money in the backyard.
We finished the evening watching him ride his new bike around out front.

Happy Birthday Gus!
Your Grammy 💙 loves you!
