Typical Pandemic Birthday

 

I failed to mention that Saturday was

Roland’s birthday.

It wasn’t much of a celebration. 

Roland believes no birthday is

complete without cake.

He had handed a cake mix to

Jenna the night before.

On the box was a picture of chocolate waffles.

She made the mixture Friday night and we

made poured the mixture into the waffle iron. 

I poured a pecan frosting over the best pieces and

placed a candle on top. 

We wished Roland a happy birthday and ate

chocolate waffles for breakfast.

 

Later on the elders called to ask

if Roland had a key to the television room. 

They wanted General Conference to be made

available for those who chose to watch it at the Church.

Roland left the house to meet the elders at

the church and learned he the key he has

does not work in the room where the

televised devices are kept.

 

Later we met our former bishop at the animal clinic. 

Typical pandemic birthday.

Jenna's notes

Keep in mind that Jenna's mind (not to mention the speaker's words) was going faster than her pencil.
They come with pictures.

she designed her notebook cover

Bonnie Oscarson did NOT make the comparison

to Thor's hammer, but as her talk was going 

faster than Jenna could write, she put the

first thing that her brain could think of.

WE'RE (we are) all important

until I asked about the cat in the picture, Jenna

had never gotten the reference of killing a "fatted

cat" in the parable of the prodigal son.  I had to

stop laughing before I could correct her

last line was not from conference, but 

something was said that triggered the 

lyrics for a "Veggie-Tale" song

this was her favorite talk as it started with

attention grabber: "The Lion King"

I'll have to ask her about this one

yes, that is a rough sketch of

Elvis as Ellis sounds similar
