Hope you have as many birthdays as you want!
CaliforniaPeggy
(154,977 posts)As I mentioned to usonian, we've always had young faces! We looked like teenagers when we got married, and we were both in our 20's!
We would both like to see him have more birthdays!

(154,977 posts)All I can say: take care of your health! Mental and physical: those are key!
We're still working at those too.

Happy "special" Birthday, Ben

What a gorgeous cake. Everything looks scrumptious.
TY for sharing, dear Peggy!
CaliforniaPeggy
(154,977 posts)I served him some of his favorite foods and we both enjoyed our dinners immensely. He tells me he could eat scallops every night!
And you know, he and I have always had young faces. When we got married, we looked like teenagers, but we were in our twenties!
You know how much I love to share. How could I not?
