No it isn't one of those special decade birthdays, or even an in betweener. 
Top of Beartooth Mountains.
Snowballs even in June!



It's just have fun, go to the woods in Montana with hubby and have fun on your birthday kind of day. Yes! I'm so excited hubby and I are visiting one of my favorite places- Montana! We'll be helping a missionary fix the sound system in his church and then visit the mountains.
If you are stopping by and haven't become a follower or subscriber, would you? We have so much fun here and would love to have you part of the regular gang.

I've set a goal. 

To be reached by my birthday. 
So, call your loved ones, friends, and neighbors and ask them to become a follower or subscriber on Mary's website: Let's Talk.

Please?  Awww, thanks.
And, in appreciation of all the fun chats we've had so far, I will even have a book give away for a commenter today. 
To win leave a comment about your favorite birthday, and become a follower or subscriber--if you haven't already

I love giving gifts.

winner announced on my 







 In the meantime, enjoy the sunny weather, basque in the outdoor floral scents, go swimming, drink some virtual sweet tea and have a piece of birthday cake.











Speaking of birthday cake. 
I am offering a second book give away to the person who can guess my favorite kind of birthday cake. I'll give you a hint my Grandma made this cake from scratch for each grandkid on their birthday.
LOL. I know. Not much help, eh?  
We really have a lot of fun here on Let's Talk. 
Every weekend I host a guest, many are authors. On Monday s and Wednesdays we discuss Bible issues, current events, book reviews, blessings, and prayer request. 

 I'm so excited to have you join us for our next chat. 
There is an open chair, just for you!


The two winners will be able to choose one book from 
my list of great Christian Fiction author's books. 

 Technically my birthday is this Friday, but I am hosting an author that day. 
Celebrating early is my kind of fun. Who really can wait to open packages?

First of all, I would like to wish you an early Happy Birthday. As I get older I realize that each new birthday is a gift from God. You asked for special birthday memories from your readers. I was surprised with a 50th birthday party but one that is even more special occurred many years ago. We were a young farm couple who worked hard (and together) and had very little money for extras. My birthday is Nov. 4th and we were picking corn (harvesting). This was also a year after our daughter was born and I had been strenuously dieting to get rid of the last of the pregnancy weight gain. Late that afternoon my husband brought in a pizza! Delicious pizza that was not part of our budget or my diet plan! We ate it by our corn crib but there has never been a better setting or a more enjoyable meal. Simple to most but outstanding to me then; now, in my memory, it is even more wonderful!

I have no idea about the cake so I will guess made-from-scratch spice cake.

Thank you Mary for all of the wonderful posts that you share with us.

Blessings,
Connie

Happy Birthday (a couple days early!) dear Mary! My favorite birthdays were the ones when my kids were pretty young and THEY made the huge deal out of it. Like the year my daughter - probably 4 - made me a birthday crown out of paper, and I wore to to the grocery store :D

And as for cake? I'm gonna take a wild guess, and assume it's a bit unusual in the birthday cake region and say carrot cake.

Connie,
What a wonderful birthday. I could picture the whole scene! And I'll bet the pizza calories ran away the next day. So glad God blessed you with special birthday time with hubby.
As for the birthday cake, you are right, it is a made-from-scratch cake, but not spice.

Wearing a home-made crown to the store. You are awesome. I bet your daughter was so very happy to show off her pretty mom.

As for the cake. I love carrot cake...too. BUT wrong answer.

Happy Birthday, wishing you many blessings!

I would have to say my most memorable birthday was at ChuckeCheese as a child.

As far as the birthday cake ... I'm going to guess chocolate cake.

Happy Birthday, Mary! I hope you have a wonderful day! My hubs birthday is on Saturday.
My memorable birthday has to be my 13th year when it was in the middle of January and it was nice outside. Like 30-40 degree warmer than normal for that time of year. I was playing softball in my back yard and ended up breaking the basement window that my dad just replaced. Oops! I can still remember that look on his face. Not the best kind of memory but it is the most memorable to me.


For some reason I want to say for the birthday cake is an applesauce cake.

I've always enjoyed my June birthday. I was the one who got the pool that all my siblings used. Okay it was small and one of those rubber things, but it was fun. And I was the one who got the swing set. Needless to say my siblings were jealous even though they used it. :) Sunny days. Hikes. Yeah. June is a nice month. Thanks for joining us, Valri:)

Janella, you have such fun memories. Chucky Cheese is an exciting place to celebrate a birthday.

Birthday cake: Not chocolate cake...but you are on the right path!!

Mary Vee Storyteller said…
Well, there you have it. A fun memory based on an oops event. I think we've all received "that look" from dad when we were young.

Birthday cake: Not applesauce cake. Although, because my favorite is made from scratch and eaten the same day it has the same rich moisture found in applesauce cake.

Happy happy birthday! I'm guessing German chocolate cake! My favorite birthday was my 30th when my husband threw me a huge surprise party! He loves surprising me and I never fail to fall for it. And I was ready to leave my 20's behind... :)

Heidi YOU GUESSED THE CAKE!!!! (not shouting just totally jazzed.) My Grandmother made this yummy German Chocolate cake for me. Later she showed me how to do it. This year, my daughter is chef, so she will be making it for me.

I tend to be the clueless one for surprises also. I walk into them with such a goofy look on my face because I'm caught off guard. Everyone laughs and the fun lets loose. Everyone is happy.

Fabulous Friday Feature-Candace Calvert

Today we welcome author:  Candace Calvert To win a copy of Candace's new release: By Your Side Scroll to the end of the post  to see how to get your copy. Mary Vee here. One of my absolute favorite classes at ACFW this last year was the medical fiction class. That wasn't the real title, I can't remember what snazzy name the instructors gave it--BUT three stellar medical professionals, who are also Christian Fiction writers, presented great information then opened the time for questions. We students asked them all kinds of questions like what kind of poison would kill a ..., and tons of other questions. It was sooooo much fun, and informative.     I asked Candace, who was one of those fabulous teachers, to join us and share  how God has led her on her writing journey. Here is what she said: God Gave Me a Wake-up Fall The story won’t surprise folks who hav...

Today we welcome author: Andrea Boeshaar Three commenters will win a copy of Andrea's book:  A Thousand Shall Fall Scroll down to see how. Mary here. Andrea has had an amazing journey. One many of us can relate to. Her post below shows her strength and positive spirit. I'm so happy Andrea is visiting with us today. Pull up a chair, grab your coffee and come chat with Andrea. I asked Andrea to tell us how God led her on her writing journey. Here is what she said:  Romance Done Write I didn’t read much while growing up in my family’s suburban Milwaukee, Wisconsin home. I read what I was assigned for school, along with an occasional children’s novel like Pippi Longstocking and Little House in the Big Woods .  When I was in fourth grade, I wrote my first novel, Little Miss Mouse . My mother kept it all these years and it’s now in my possession. I laugh when I read those ten handwritten pages. At the tim...

Fabulous Friday Feature-Lorna Seilstad

By
Today we welcome author: Lorna Seilstad One commenter will win a copy of Lorna's book:  As Love Blooms Scroll down to see how. Mary here. I have quickly learned what an amiable person Lorna is. After only a few emails we've become great friends and found similar things to talk about. You'll see this same spirit in her post below. I asked Lorna to tell us how God led her on her writing journey. Here is what she said:  Excuses! Excuses! Moses and I have a lot in common. Oh, I haven’t led any Egyptians out of bondage, but I have looked at the path God laid out for me and rattled off excuses that would rival those of the great spiritual leader himself. You’re probably familiar with the story. God gets Moses’ attention with a burning bush, and then when He begins to disclose his plans for Moses’ future, the excuses start. ( My paraphrase of the story:) “Moses, I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people ou...
