Birthday Memories

July 22, 2021 by Kimberly Snyder 18 Comments

Do you ever find an old picture from one of your childhood birthday parties ? I found one from my 6th birthday party!

I wonder what I wished for that year?

The picture was taken at my 6th birthday party!  My Mom is watching to make sure I don’t fall face first into the cake, I think!  She was always a bit over-protective!

The party was held at my grandparents’ restaurant where my Mom worked.  Later in my life, she forbade me to ever open a restaurant…. she said it was the hardest work.  If you read this blog post, Sprout/ Grow/ Bloom ; My Entrepreneurial Journey you can read my response to her!

I still have the little ballerina figurine that decorated the top of the cake!  If you have been following me for long, I know you aren’t surprised to read that!

I celebrated my birthday earlier this week.  I didn’t have cake but I did get the little ballerina out and take some pictures!

Creating European dish gardens are one of my favor Creating European dish gardens are one of my favorite things to do! Why are they called European dish gardens? Because of the types of plants used and how they are “planted” in the container.
