Birthday Bumps (I don’t think you’ll know what these are unless you’re Canadian)

Ooh.

La.

La!

Happy birthday to the best man I know!
Yesterday RW received the best birthday present he could ask for: His last day of work for the year!
Whew. We made it through another summer.
We celebrated the end of the 2009 fire season as well as his birthday with a posse of 19 other men and a handful of my lady friends out at a local Mexican restaurant. It was a very entertaining evening, of course — good company, good food and lots of margaritas.
To further celebrate his 30th year we are headed for Wyoming tomorrow in our truck with the dogs to hunt antelope. RW is in heaven, I tell you. I can’t wait to unplug from my computer and hang out in a freezing cold tent (this statement is sarcasm free) on the plains of Wyoming, hike around in the day and take photos of all sorts of strange bits of nature. Hot tea in the morning and at night, cooking over a little stove, stargazing…it’s going to be a wonderful weekend away with my favorite person on all of the planet.
We’ll see you all next week!
Happy weekending!
Love,
Mister and Mister Plume

    Fellow Canadian here…
    I was always afraid when the "bumps" part of the party came around…How much do these people really like me? πŸ˜‰
    I've recently "found you" and I love your words.
    Happy Birthday to Mr. Plume.

    …oh right, what's a Canadian Bump?

  13. Happy Birthday to RW! Did the 19 other firefighters attempt to administer the 30 birthday bumps? If so, pictures please!

    Best of luck in Wyoming! Stay warm!

  27. A very happy birthday to RW and a WONDERFUL happy thanksgiving to your whole family (furry bits and all) πŸ™‚ I smell stuffing and pumpkin pie wafting through my window, after being thoroughly stuffed on lamb.

    CHEERS from West Coast Canada!

    The Mister says:
    THANKS FOR ALL THE BIRTHDAY WISHES LADIES AND GENTS!!!!!!!!

  30. The Noisy Plume: says

    …oh yes. Birthday Bumps:

    Well everyone at your birthday party grabs one of your limbs and they all lift you up in the air and then bump your bottom on the floor…one bump for each year you've lived!

    Totally a weird Canadian thing…
