Birthday Party Marble Mountain Style

A wonderful birthday.

Saturday was my birthday and I went to a fabulous birthday party at the Marble Mountain Hall.  These folks really know how to throw a birthday party.  There must have been more than a hundred folks from the village and surrounding area at the party, and there was live music.  A covered dish supper was provided by the women of Marble Mountain.

A lot of people.

Lots of good food brought in by the Marble Mountain neighbors.

The music.

Local musicians provided Cape Breton music.

The cake.

A huge sheet cake that was pretty and delicious. 

Actually you probably have guessed by now that this party was NOT for me but for Russell who lives in the village and who turned 85.  I quietly pretended that it was my birthday party too.

It really was a wonderful way to spend my birthday.. And many happy returns to Russell on his 85th.

Canada Day Covered Dish Supper

We had a good time at the Covered Dish Supper on Saturday night at the Marble Mountain Community Hall to celebrate Canada Day.  There is always a good crowd at these Marble Mountain suppers because MM is known for its excellent cooks.  And again we were not disappointed.  There was a lot of delicious food, and it was good to see friends and neighbors.    We took a red and white jello dish (red and white are the colors of the Canadian flag) and a dish of maple-glazed walnut halves.

It was good to see old friends and make new ones. I understand there will be another supper at the Hall in August.  Oh good, we'll be there.
