A Boomer’s birthday

My sister Jenny turns 50 tomorrow and she is jumping into that decade with a head full of glee.

Those first five decades have been full of accomplishments, and she has big plans for the next. I’m excited to tag along.

We’ve called her Boomer since she was a spunky little sprite who made my dad laugh when he tried to discipline her. She’s still spunky so she’s still Boomer and, I’m sure, she always will be.

I’ve never met anyone who loved having “Happy Birthday” sung to her as much as my sister so it’s really fun to celebrate her. We did that Sunday afternoon at the cabin, which meant a tasty cake for her and another full table for me.

Yay for both of us.

Delighted by the challenge of baking a cake with fewer carbs and less sugar, Molly whipped up a dark chocolate coconut masterpiece. We got to enjoy the party on the front porch of a cabin we all love and that made the whole party even more special.

Following the meal, we treated ourselves to a float down the river, which is the perfect way to rest a full belly, if you ask me.

I’m going to let the pictures tell the rest of the story because I am currently hanging out with a photographer and he’s capturing our time in this little slice of heaven beautifully.

Thank you Ed for your beautiful pictures and stellar fire building prowess.
