This was the first birthday celebration of the new year. Joyce turned ?? this year. She enjoyed all the presents she received, most of which were related to knitting, her favorite hobby at this time. The traditional candle race was one of the most unusual we have ever had. The candles burned down and puddled. Joyce's was the first wick to drop and because it was curled around it didn't go out. Several others dropped shortly after. There were five at the end all burning with very small flames. Heather's flame was almost too small to see, but it continued on and on. Joyce's finally went out and Heather's kept going and going for several minutes before it finally went out. Lot's of fun! |
