YOU | Birthdays Galore!

Just in case all those long weekends, holidays and warm sunny days didn't get us enough reason to be thrilled about Summer, many of our readers also celebrated their birthdays.

Here are A FEW of those birthday bashes...


Rain or shine, the party must go on. The event: Melisa's daughter Sara's 9th Birthday in July- The venue: my friends Doug & Heather's house. The weather: Cloudy with a chance of meatballs!

Fortunately Sara and her guests did manage to enjoy some time in the bouncy castle which had been rented for the party, before the skies opened and the rain fell. 

It was great to see the old gang all on board for Sara's birthday, especially the one's who were once the kids in the room, not parents!
  
 

On August 30th, Jim Triemstra-Bailey celebrated his 50th birthday (yes, despite how young he looks, we said 50) with husband David, family and friends. 

On facebook, our Brantford buddy said "This [Police Box] was on the top of my birthday cake. Thank you to everybody that came to my party. It was a great time especially when my friends from holland surprised me by showing up." 

Lookin' good Jim!  Welcome to your 50's! 


 


What do you get when you take two silly siblings, whose birthday's are only a day apart, and add family, food and refreshments?  You get a wild and crazy party that's what.

Bob and Jeanne's party was one of many events the Farquharson's and their offspring enjoyed while chillin' at Cathy and Ernie's trailer on Mink Lake this Summer.






When her boyfriend Kevin turned 30 this Spring, Amanda Bergsma along with Kevin's family and friends, gathered at a local park to blow up about $1000 worth of fireworks. (That's what you call a "birthday blast" -LITERALLY!)

Amanda's birthday was in August and although the sky may not have been illuminated by the flashes of fireworks like Kevin's party was, Ms. Bergsma put her own unique spin on the event.

She is creating a Dragon Hoodie, and shared the pix above on facebook, to show her friends the progress she had made.  We're not entirely certain if the hoodie is for some particular function or just a new kind of fashion statement. Either way it looks wicked.

 


Our Toronto pal Kirt celebrated his Summer birthday in a grand way, with a trip to New York. Above we see Kirt flying 1500 feet above the Big Apple in a helicopter tour and making a big splash on the speed boat "The Beast".

Kirt also enjoyed the play Kinky Boots on Broadway and ate his weight in tasty foods ("May I have some more ribs please"...LOL). No wonder he referred to this as a "fantastic birthday".

And although it looks impressive, we must confess, Time Square didn't really get all dolled up for Kirt's celebration, despite the Photoshopped pix below.





Diane Murray had extra reason to be happy on her recent birthday. She and hubby BJ now reside in Niagara Falls, and by the sounds of things, they really love their new place.

Diane is pictured above in a photo from Scribbles archives. Diane (right) is seen with daughter Katie. Katie and her BF Jay created a lovely "welcome" sign for Diane and BJ's new home, which we also see above.

Meanwhile, Di's son Patrick and daughter-in-law played host to her birthday lunch in August.

"Endora's" living the good life these days and that's bewitching indeed!
