They look wonderful Y!!! You brought tears to my eyes. He would have loved this. I love it!!! The flowers are the perfect touch! Did you grow them?  

So thoughtful. 💚 

Bear🧸 The cupcakes turned out to be a bit of a disaster, so I had to divert the focal point to the flowers🤣 Yes those flowers are from my garden and the calories I burnt growing them far surpasses the calories of the cake. How was the visit to the grave today? What did y’all talk about? I liked that you kept half of the bouquet🌹Your cake looked very very rich🤣 oh dear🤣 He sure had a sweet tooth, didn’t he? 

Wifey, I saw that today is some sort of anniversary for you too. Have a cupcake, I made too many🧁 

They look delicious. Flowers are beautiful. Must of been grown with that good soil. Have a nice weekend.  

Well, I'm just super impressed that you made them! You always inspire me with your fearlessness!! I need to grow more flowers. Your cupcakes likely tasted better than the cake I bought. I'm not used to eating that much sugar anymore. Yep, he sure did love sweets! I mostly just thanked God for bringing him into my life. But, I did quietly tell him in my heart that I love him and miss him so very much.  

So Zinnias, bachelor buttons? Not sure what the others are. But they're beautiful!!!  

Hi Anna, my compost buddy👯‍♀️ YES, grown with the good soil! Thank you for your acknowledgement🥰 Alas, garden weeds are happy too, maybe too happy…. Horse nettle, to be precise😭 

Bear, I am just happy that you had a beautiful day with Mr Bear today. Thank you for sharing your roses and cake with us🌹🍰 I hope you have a peaceful weekend. 

PS🧸 you identified two flowers correctly. You can have two cupcakes🤣🧁 They are zinnias, bachelor buttons, marigold (shoved in the middle), calendula, sweet alyssum, nasturtium, forget-me-not, and borage🌼💐 

I took a snapshot of this. I'm going to look for those...thank you! 

so beautiful🤍 

YFritz yesterday was my one year anniversary since surgery. I had a Heller Myotomy for Achalasia a year ago. I’m curious, are you familiar with it at all? I’ve met some nurses who have no clue what it is. It is rare so I understand but you seem different, I feel like you know something about everything. 😉 

Oh, thanks for the cupcake. I hope it goes down smooth, not all food does. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 

Beautiful. The arrangement, the flowers and yummy cupcakes, but especially the thoughtfulness and sentiment behind it all. Beautiful ladies.  

Bear good morning. I wanted to say, thank you for being my maintenance buddy. 

Wifey I only saw that particular condition during my pediatric rotation. She was a preemie with a genetic disorder. There are millions of maladies in this world and I heard that we know barely 1% of those. Maybe your nurses never heard of achalasia but they know dysphasia inside out and I am sure they implemented a number of processes to mitigate adverse events. It is an inconspicuous skill and lay people usually don’t understand it. Glad your surgery was successful, maybe there are certain foods you’ll need to avoid, which is a bummer, but for now you seem to be maintaining your nutritional status optimally and I’m happy for you💜 

I’ll purée the cupcake🤣🥄 

Windy, we Japanese enjoy honoring our loved ones with the food they liked. My dad goes to 7-Eleven and buy all sorts of junk, like sushi, mochi, ice cream sandwiches, claiming that mom liked those. He places them in the memorial altar for a few minutes max🤣 Then it’s time for us to eat those treats! 

Good morning!!! ☀️ Thank you for being mine too!!! Have a wonderful day!!!
