The Bookseller's Birthday

The Bookseller is having a birthday tomorrow. I love to do special things for him on his birthday, but this one will be a bit different. Our boys live out of town, so they won't be here. Our daughter lives close by, but her children are so busy with after school sports and such that she worn't be making it either. So that leaves the Bookseller with me!

I think I'll take him on a date to dinner and a movie. We have a theater in town that serves food and drinks right in the theater while your watching the movie. I don't know what movies are playing, but I'm sure they have all of the most recently released titles. I'll just let the Bookseller pick the movie.

Since it is October and we are in the middle of fall, I think I'll make a pumpkin cake. I have a "castle" shaped pan that will do nicely. I have always called the Bookseller my "knight in shining armor", so the castle will be perfect. Also, I happen to have a knight figurine that I found at a toy store that is the perfect size to adorn a castle cake!

I guess this birthday won't be so bad after all!
