An Unusual Celebration

 Just attended a wonderful birthday celebration of a friend's aunt. She turned 87, and is as lively as ever. She was joking around, chatting as if we were longtime acquaintances (I met her for the first time), and was generally in high spirits. Some pics from the event, which involved two cakes.

Below, the special one from Vienna, Apricot flavoured, and a big deal in Europe.
