F is for...
Fire!!
Fifty-six candles adorn this cake!
56 candles produce 56 BTU's, or 14,112 calories of heat (that's only 14.1120 food Calories). You can boil 6.40 US ounces of water with that many candles.
F is for Fit, Feisty, Funky, Frisky and Fabulous after Fifty!
It gets a little dangerous to light candles on a cake when you get this old just to have fun! Smith was worried about burning down the house or, at the very least, setting off the smoke alarm. Today I am one day older than yesterday but, one whole year older than this date last year and that means time to celebrate being Fifty-six years young!
F is for Friendship.
Caroline, Neena, Laurie, and I posed in Front of my Favorite Fire place, which is in Silver Fork Lodge, after breakfast on Saturday. Smith was a very happy man to have Four Fabulous Grrls as his entourage this weekend.
F is for Feeling great about having a Knit Blog. You all make every day more enjoyable, more Full of Friendship. Thank you for all your wonderful comments on Seaweed. She has been worn daily since being finished.
F is for Full of chocolate! Thank you, Norma!
The winner of the last Zen Birthday Contest was Nicole M. She lives in Ogden, Utah and we have never met, which I hope changes soon. Congrats Nicole! It's nice to 'know' another Utah Grrl.
The answer to the question, What is the name of the specific mountain range in my view?, is the Wasatch Mountains. If you want to see more fabulous Utah Pictures check this link.
Happy, Happy Birthday and a lot of more healthy happy years.
