Birthdays, presents and meet the neighbours.

Howdy Mates, we've had a couple of birthdays lately.  First off our big, little brother (he's 6 ft 4 in) turned 17.  He is the baby of the family.   We had Mango upside down cake (a sweet reminder of our Relentlessly Huge Uncle Mango).  My sissy makes the family birthday cakes.




Next it was Dad's turn.  Another year closer to retirement.  Yaahooo!  Looks like Dad's thinking, "How come the Fire Siren at the station is going off at this time of day?"  Hehehehe.  This time we had Chocolate and Strawberry layer cake.




A few days ago our neighbours, the cows, came back for a visit.  We see them every few weeks for a couple of days each time.  We love them and sometimes they let us sniff them through the fence!  I think they wonder if I am one of their babies hehe.








This morning mum gave us a chewy stick.  I wonder why I always get the smallest one.

You get the smallest sticks you big clown because every time I give you a large chewy bone you don't eat it, just stress out about where you can hide it!!


Stella eats hers really fast.






And last, but not least, mum had a wonderful surprise the other day.  We had posted about The Humble Handkerchief 
and our friends Stella Rose and Maggie's mum liked it and sent mum a handkerchief.  She was so happy.  She says it is not for any kind of snotty business.  Instead she will spray it with her favourite perfume and keep it in her handbag so everything will smell wonderful.  We just hope she doesn't use it to spit and wipe (see the Humble Handkerchief for this horrid habit)



Note the beautiful lace around the edge and the crisp, straight line from ironing.  Whatever the heck ironing is hehehe.
Thanks Stella Rose, Maggie and your Mum!!


Last off, one of mum's photos from our walks along the Summer Track.  This poor old Gum Tree (or Eucalyptus Tree) has passed to the Rainbow Bridge for all our family and friends to leave peemail on.  Mum thinks it is still beautiful.



See you all soon.
No worries, and slobber, Rory
and love, Stella

  2. Happy Birthday to those two special men in your lives. Those cakes look scrumptious.

    About those handkerchiefs, our Mom grew up in a house where her Dad always used a handkerchief and her Mom always had a pretty hankie in her purse, never used, but always there. Our Mom carried a very special lacetrimmed one as part of her wedding bouquet. It was a gift from her grandmother when Mom was a little girl.

    Enjoy those sticks.

  3. Geez, you've all been very busy lately! Two birthdays and two cakes - yum! Those cows get really close, that wouldn't be a good idea for our pack, they'd be trying to get over the fence at them. Did you enjoy your chewy sticks? Yummy!!

  5. Happy Birthday to your big/little Bro and your dad. Any cake left over? Just wondering. I like cows too. But sometimes when I am staring at them and then they MOOOO it sort of startles me. And I just busted a gut laughing at you and that tiny chew. Bwahahhahhahhaha. I will now giggle myself to sleep.
    Blessings,

  6. Hey Stella Down Under:

    Seems like you have had some serious celebrating going on at your house. Those cakes looked A-1 to me.

    I like your new header, does that mean you can mosey down that road and not have to think about cars?

    Cheers and hugs,
    Stella Up Over

  12. We are so glad you liked the hanky...my momma has such wonderful memories of her grandma and ironing hankies, that she always thinks hankies should be given as gifts because of that reason.....oh we saw those big boots too and wondered whose job it was to fill them...mom loves mango's so she bet that cake was really delicious.

  19. We love birthday celebrations and your sissy's cakes look so delicious! We are glad our momma did not get a hankie; she already does the wipey thing for our eye gunkies!

  20. Belated Happy Birthday to your two best guys! Looks like your hu-sissy is a stellar cook.

    Well, it's clear who's the ant and who's the grasshopper in your house. Don't save your noms, Rory - your mum will always give you more if you eat them, and is in danger of deciding you don't really like them if you go at them slowly. We learned that lesson the hard way.

    Congrats to Ms. Gillard on her re-election. And what's the 'forced adoption' scandal she was apologizing for?
