Nothing about Edith's 8th birthday on Saturday went according to plan.
Of course, a big family-wide party was out. I had hoped we could see the lights at the zoo during her birthday weekend (a nice outdoor activity, right?), but that was a no as Covid cases went up in our county. And even a small masked-up outdoor get together was out of the question as I awaited a Covid test (finally scheduled for this morning, so more about that next week).
So birthday No. 8 was spent in quarantine.
But I had the ingredients to bake Edith's cake by special request -- lemon with blueberry frosting -- and we got a pizza delivered. And friends and neighbors dropped off balloons, cards and special treats all day Friday and Saturday. So in many ways, this birthday held the biggest surprises of all, and not all of them were bad.
