Sunday, sweet Sunday

Dear readers, 

This is the Pumita's husband writing you tonight.  I commandeered this here blog, and here´s our Sunday story: 

On yesterday was quite a special day for my lovely Pumita! We got up early and went to our early service over at Christ Church. We sat in front of one of Pumita´s dear friends, and we were hoping to be able to speak with her after the service, but she cut out before the communion. Oh well, we´ll catch up with her on later. After making a (candy) run over to CVS to check out the summer specials, we headed over to Essex, MA for the first special event of the day. 

Next, we meandered through Essex and past the Periwinkles (they have the best clam chowder - according to the Essex clam fest) over to the Essex River Cruise. For our water-themed celebration, we took a Sunday morning muffin, coffee and juice cruise. Our guide was very knowledgeable  - never a dull moment, and he was always quick with an interesting local tidbit of information or a joke. After the cruise, we both decided we could stand to eat some seafood - after our tour guide had done his job by plugging Periwinkles (we did share a big bowl of clam chowdah). 

After lunch, we came back home and I sent the Puma upstairs while I set up the party area. I invited some of our friends - our foam roller, "Foamy," was able to come and don a party hat. Next, I set up the party table with a princess-themed cake, plates and napkins. Pumita´s cake came complete with her princess tiara and jeweled sceptre. Pumita got some nice gifts, too. Foamy got her a tool that he hoped would remind her of him - a long and slender cheese grater and fruit zester. Next, two more of Pumita´s friends, Rex and Fluffy, got her two gifts that would remind her of them - Hershey chocolate bars and marshmallows for s´mores! Finally, Pumita´s namesake came into her life that afternoon - Aurora, the blond puma. 

After all the excitement, we all sat down to have some delicious buttercream-iced princess cake and some decadent vanilla ice cream I made. The ice cream, of course, was full of flavor! 

And this was just the pre-party for Pumita's real birthday on tomorrow.

Hope you enjoyed it!
