The Birthday Queen's Day of Fun & Frolic

The Queen in Her Element~

The weeks leading to the anniversary of her birth were experienced in dizzying dips of joy.  However, anticipating the "big" present and the cake lead the poor Queen to question her sanity and doubt the loyalty of the Young Prince and his Knaves.  You see Prince Jack, General Knave Carter and Colonel Knave Steven (and likely other unrulies) finalized the days' events, then conspired to mislead our dear queen.  Knowing her aversion to heights, Prince Jack and the Knaves would use skydiving as a red herring.  General Knave Carter would gently insinuate that the Queen would fly without wings!  Colonel Knave Steven claimed no plan knowledge.  As told to our graceful Queen, the cake, would not be baked by the royal bakery (Aston's Baker in Highland Park) because of its rather controversial message.   


Unbeknown to Birthday Queen, the Knaves carried out the rebellious Young Prince's wishes with gleeful enthusiasm.  Their "secrets" slipped out during midnight chats or casual text messages.  Our Queen refused to press the Knaves about details in order to help them  avoid the wrath of the Young Prince.  As a result, sleepless nights and jittery nerves nearly cost the Queen her throne (crazies aren't usually good queens).  The evil plan had worked!  


BUT!  Hours before the scoundrels' plan of Fun & Frolic was to be executed, General Knave Carter was unexpectedly called away on a required secret reconnaissance mission!  All were saddened.  Determined to soldier on, Prince Jack recalculated his options and carried out his alternate plan.  


    
The Queen's National Day of Fun & Frolic arrived!  Having been advised to dress nicely, but bring a bag of work out clothes and perhaps an extra pair of shoes, our Queen arrived at her Keller Williams' computer early.  Around noon, Prince Jack pick up her majesty in his gallant chariot and whisked her to The Porch where the day was declared one of "firsts".  The Queen dined on her first Tuna Nicoise Salad; quite tasty!  Then, back to the office for a brief catch up.  Then the festivities began!!  


Still prepared for "sailing without wings, the Queen allowed herself to be "blindfolded" as we headed to the "airport".   A stop to pick up the cake resulted in the pick up of Colonel Knave Steven, who reportedly could not attend.  The surprises continued in a plethora of pokes causing wheezy giggles, deep belly laughs and more than a few identifiable sounds.  Hours later, our grace found herself with Prince Jack and Colonel Knave Steven in Austin, Texas at a beautiful place enjoying the loveliest sushi in the world!  Oh, the cake?  A simple, light orange mandarin delight with the message:  Happy Birthday, Lynette


The night was magic...
