“How to Safely Light a BIRTHDAY CAKE”

Sep 20th “How to Safely Light a BIRTHDAY CAKE”

“When it comes to “Birthday Cakes” – – just exactly – or who would decide – – the number of candles to put on a cake – – before you start a major fire situation?”

“When, the Birthday cake is for Grandma, how or who does the deciding how many candles would be a safe number to put on the cake?”

Is there a standard number of candles that could all be burning brightly – – and not burn up the cake – and also not start a major fire – – causing a disaster instead of a pleasant and happy day for all those that just want to have Fun and Games?

The big problem that we were having – – was that some of these candles were of the kind that keep relighting even after they have been blown out – – and blown out time after time. “Granddaughter Jaime” had the sense to grab a coffee cup – -fill with water and grab candles and drop in the water to put out. I’m guessing, that she has some of those “Fireman” genes from a long distance ancestor – – to be able to think quick, and act at the same time – – otherwise we could have had a very sad situation on our hands!

Sure glad that we were all ready for something exciting – – as it was FUN watching the candles re-light and I was running out of “wind” – – and, all that I could think – – “I guess that I will not get my wish – – this time?”

Senior citizens just do not have as much air in their lungs to be doing a lot of extra blowing – – just to be blowing – – and I sure do not have what I used to have – – guess I better look for a vitamin that rebuilds the “LUNG” capacity – – so for the next time – – I will be able to blow candles out all day – – if, that is what it will take to get my wish – – all done with only one breath!

“Thanks for a wonderful week of celebrating and to all that came by and or called – – and, “Thanks to the Almighty” for giving to me a wonderful week to be with Family and Friends – – and another year to work for HIS greater glory and praise – – He is every thing that we need for LIFE!” D.V.
