I'm actually having two birthday treats today, food-wise. First of all, a good turkey sandwich from the bird I slow-cooked on Saturday. Dinde confite, pain de mie (sandwich bread), et mayonnaise. Simplement. Avec peut-être une feuille de salade. Doesn't that sound exciting?
For dinner, it'll be a blanquette de veau that I cooked a few days ago and put in the freezer so that it could travel...
Happy birthday! May you enjoy the day and the whole year. And the delicious food....
ReplyDeleteDear Ken, Happy, happy Birthday! Age is just a number, or something like that...I have to tell myself the same thing. 70 is the new 40. I think that works. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAccording to a recent study, you are almost spot on!
DeleteLate middle-age is measured from 70 now.
We are elderly at 90!
Age is a matter of mind;
DeleteIf you don't mind,
It doesn't matter!
Happy birthday, Ken!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Ken, hope you have a nice day!
ReplyDelete(Sans typos this time!)
Happy Birthday, Ken. It should be a nice day. Almost like Spring!
ReplyDeleteA very happy birthday and I hope your day and dinner was good.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Ken ! Springs just around the corner !!
ReplyDeleteMany Happy Returns. Hope you have a great day.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Ken.... avagoodun!!
ReplyDeleteDon't say goodbye to your Sixties....
celebrate your sixties, fifties, forties, thirties, etc...
according to a recent study we are still young in our sixties.
Late middle-age starts at seventy now....
and we are only truly elderly when we hit our nineties.
Happy Birthday Ken! Enjoy the day and the food. Will you be eating your blanquette at the gîte that you've rented for your road trip? Or have you postponed the trip till you are both fit again? Martine
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Ken and enjoy all that good food.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be very inventive now, have a very happy birthday, Ken.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Ken. It’s been a tough couple of months. I hope the next year is wonderful. Sue and Leon

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Big brother. Hope its a happy one
ReplyDeleteJoyeux anniversaire Ken ! Comme vous l'ont dit vos amis, l'âge est dans la tête : profitez de la vie, rencontrez des amis, aidez les autres si vous pouvez, faites ce que vous n'avez jamais oser faire et soyez heureux ! (j'ai 70 ans, plutôt handicapée mais je gère une association de soutien scolaire, je fais de la couture, du patchwork du cartonnage et de la broderie, je m'amuse sur internet, je lis votre blog et celui de votre mari tous les jours et j'ai l'impression de vous connaître !) Le soleil va revenir et votre moral sera meilleur, allez courage et nous sommes là tous vos lecteurs anonymes à attendre vos posts attachants. Bien amicalement à vous.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday !! Mine is the 23rd .. this is when nothing but Happy Things start happening again ..
ReplyDeletehave a wonderful b'day...cheers
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Ken!
ReplyDeleteJoyeux Anniversaire Ken.
ReplyDeleteLa vie sera agréable avec le passage du temps et les bons souvenirs des années passées.
Le soleil brillera de nouveau.

Turkey sandwiches make perfect birthday treats! I must say I miss the energy I had in my sixities, but each day is a blessing to be enjoyed. I love the comments Beaver and Christine made in French. Just imagine what would be missing from our lives if we hadn't learned the french language and then had the good fortune to travel/live in France! Have a happy day, Ken and enjoy being 69!
ReplyDeleteJoyeux Anniversaire.
ReplyDeleteI know you had sun today, I saw it. On the TGV to Roissy, the announcer called what to my tin ear sounded like "Sen Padekor" but which turned out to be Saint-Pierre-des-Corps / Tours. So I waved at you and Walt. Had I known it was your birthday, I'd have sung a little birthday song, too.
Happy birthday, Ken, and many happy returns! Hope you and Walt enjoy the day, and the food. ;) I also hope you'll be able to go away for a couple of days as planned.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Ken! Lots of good health, happiness, and fullness of life and living....now I'm craving turkey sandwich.....

Hey all, today was a beautiful day weatherwise and otherwise. The turkey was and is delicious. The place where I'm writing from is beautiful too. Life is good. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good birthday. Hope this next year treats you well.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a beautiful day! You had it coming to you.
ReplyDeleteBelated birthday greetings. As one who will pass the dread deadline next week, I can tell you it doesn't feel any different. Life goes on....
ReplyDeleteBelated Birthday wishes and many more filled with love and happiness. You are still young next to me. I am now 84.
ReplyDeleteA very belated Happy Birthday to you, Ken. Having turned 69 in November, I can assure you there is nothing to worry about as we hurtle toward angst inducing age 70. Think of the alternative.
ReplyDeleteWe're digging out from a major snowstorm where we lost electricity because falling trees and branches took down power lines. We are mostly restored. Looking forward to reading another year of your (and Walt's) terrific posts.
Thanks, Bob. Et bon courage. I see another nor'easter in your future. All the best to you and N.
DeleteKen, a very belated good birthday wish to you. It has been a tough few months, but you are home, with your love, and spring will soon be there....
