My Birthday 4

My Birthday 4

For several years, my mother gave me a birthday party in our back yard. I could invite only one other kid. I always invited my best friend, Clifford Hall, who lived just down the alley.

In three of the photographs, the same little red table was used to hold the cake. About 40 years later, my wife and I gave that table and a couple of matching chairs to our goddaughter, who had several little ones of her own.

Guessing at ages here, Clifford and I were probably nine years old in this shot.

Thanks so much!

That is good old Buddy waiting for a crumb. I'm sure he got his share. I always threw him pieces of anything I was eating. He was such an expert at catching food that was thrown to him. He almost never missed.

great series, Gary! Priceless pics, love them. Looks like you made a good job of demolishing the cake : ) - and love the dog in the foreground, patiently waiting for any crumbs that might drop or come his way. Fabulous. thanks for sharing these with us.

Yeah. I got a bit too large for them. It's fun to go to our friend's house and see them there. However, thier kids are now too big for them too.
