Last weekend, I was delighted to have Finley stay with us at the cottage. Well the idea of having her here was exciting. However, once the crib, the booster chair, the stroller, her suitcase, the cats in their crates, the food, my bag, Peter’s bag, the other food bag, the blue bag (which carries so many things), the hanging clothes and the clean laundry and her car seat…WELL, really!!!!
Ok so I digress – we joined our friends, Susan & Jim and Joe & Michael for a “catch-up meet-up brunch” at Nagle’s. We hadn’t seen each other in a while due to who was sick, who was traveling and who hadn’t been in town. And I wanted to see Michael before he left for California. Peter’s birthday was at the end of February, Joe’s birthday had been in the week before AND moved into a new apartment. Michael left his job in CA and was going to be moving to NYC with Joe,and little Miss Fin was in town – so, Let’s Celebrate!
Jim got a large sheet cake with a BIG RAINBOW on it-this is a running insider joke between them. So I gave Joe a birthday card with a rainbow, a congratulations on your new home and new job card and Susan added Peter’s name to the birthday cake.
- Happy Birthday Joe! and Peter too

You can see where the first cut was made and if you look at the first picture, you can see that the rainbow is on the opposite side of the cake – Finny wanted a piece of cake with the blue rainbow. Even if we wanted to accomodate her request, it would have been hard to extricate one piece of cake out of the middle – Problem solved. How about a piece of cake and Gigi will cut a piece of the blue rainbow and put in it on your piece? “OK” , she says.
