Happy Birthday Russell!

Happy Sunday everyone! On this day, some 68 years ago, the cutest little boy was born. He had wonderful parents that raised him to be the kind of man that he is today....my wonderful husband and human dad of Cooper & Spicy 💖Happy Birthday to our darling Russell!

It is the first time that Russell's birthday falls on Super Bowl day so we celebrated yesterday, with gifts,  a special dinner and birthday cake. I made his favorite meal, Coquille St-Jacques and for dessert Carrot Cake.  Today, we celebrate with Game Day yummies. I will make crispy oven baked chicken wings and potato skins for dinner. We got Russell some Unbound Merino Wool Crew Neck T-Shirts, an Alex Crane linen jacket and a bluetooth thermometer, the MEATER + (thanks to Paul for helping me with that one). Those T-Shirts are meant to be worn for days and days without washing, perfect for our upcoming trip.

We woke up this morning to the beautiful calling sound of a male cardinal. A few seconds later, we heard his companion. As we took Cooper & Spicy out, we heard them again, all around our backyard. We see them all year long but on this special day, it was particularly nice to hear that lovely mating call. Spring is in the air 🌷

Our weather has been warmer, the snow is evaporating, we've had some rain. This month is half way done, yes, Spring is definitely on the way!

That's my blog for today. In addition to the big game tonight, it is a fabulous weekend for hockey. Our HABS played at noon yesterday, and won in overtime. What an exciting game it was! Today, they play again at 12:30. I have to get all my food prepped before the game. We will settle down in front of the TV for hockey, then Super Bowl pre-game shows. A good day to celebrate a birthday!

Have a good week everyone! Happy Super Bowl, may the best team win! Happy Happy Birthday Russell! We love you to the moon and back!
