Cake Stand

I usually celebrate my birthday by doing something I’ve never done before. I’m actually planning NOT to do that this year. These past few months have been so full of unintended novel experiences, there didn’t seem to be any point. Between the second week of March and today, I’ve not seen a single movie inside a movie theater. I haven’t eaten inside a restaurant. I haven’t been inside a school, a doctor’s office, a library, a post office, a church, or even a grocery store in nearly three months. I HAVE made recipes I never thought I’d try. I've attended sacrament meeting in my home. I’ve stitched and donated hundreds of face masks. I’ve even performed while wearing a mask. (That brings challenges I hadn’t considered. You can’t see the keyboard or your hands, and it’s a bit of a handicap.) I will celebrate my birthday, though, with lemon cake, homemade lemon curd, and possibly a barbecue. If the weather cooperates.
