My all-time favorite author, Haruki Murakami, has an anthology called “Birthday Stories“.  I am re-reading it right now.  This inspired me to start a post series called “Birthday Pictures”, where I keep a collection of photos from various birthday celebrations with friends and family.

Today’s 2 dozen mini cupcakes came from Susie Cakes.  It was for a birthday celebration for an instructor in Plum’s camp.  Ms. S is gentle, kind, and wonderful with children.  We brought in the mini cupcakes to surprise her.  Because it was mostly children eating these  cupcakes, I kept the flavors simple: vanilla, chocolate and red velvet.  Great fun watching the children singing “Happy Birthday” to Ms. S.

Here’s to many joyful birthdays to come, Ms. S!
