RDP Tuesday: celebrations

Nancy's Notes 🖊️♬

Written for RDP, where Martha asks us
 to get creative with the word “celebrations”.
Thanks, Martha! Here’s where the prompt took me.

For the shortest month of the year, February has four birthday celebrations for my family, and they’re all clustered around the last week.

My mother’s birthday is the 21st, and although she’s been gone for 17 years, we always remember her with a little extra sweetness on that day.

My sister and I share a birthday on the 27th …. a fact that has been a sore spot for us all our lives. We always wished we had separate birthdays, especially when it came to presents. When we were kids, some people thought it was cute to give us one gift and say it was for the both of us. That never works out well. I’ll always remember the year I turned 10 and my sister turned 14 and someone gave us a diary to share! My sister ended up with the diary as it was determined I was “too young for that sort of thing”. This year I’ll be celebrating a rather impressive birthday and I’m a bit awed by it.

Bringing up the rear is our granddaughter Colette’s birthday on the 28th. This year she’ll be six and she doesn’t know it yet but her parents have planned a trip to Disney World, including a visit to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and dinner with Cinderella …. every aspiring princess’ dream. It really would have been something had Colette had been born on my birthday but, for her sake, I’m glad she wasn’t.

Happy Birthday to you if you’re a February baby!

  2. I just read that a magical day for one child at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique ($100–$230+) and dinner at Cinderella’s Royal Table (approx. $90 adult/$55 child) typically costs between $190 and $350+ per person, plus tax and tip. I hope you enjoy your special day, Nancy and that princess Collette has a wonderful birthday also.

  11. That is a lot of birthdays! You and your sister share a birthday- and your husband and his brother shared one too. Seems like there should be some kind of hidden meaning to that- but I have no idea what it might be.
