My husband, Bruce, turned sixty-four yesterday.
Quiz question #1: Why would we do a big Beatles-themed party for someone turning 64?
These were the table decorations. Identify the item, the song it refers to, and which album it’s on:
Album?
Which song? How many of the truffles can you name? Whose sweet tooth did this song refer to?
Why did we have a “flaming pie” rather than the traditional birthday cake?
How many items on this birthday spread can you connect to a Beatles song? Note the marshmallow pie. And the tangerines. “Magic Eye” lets you see things as though you were looking through a kaleidoscope. How about the apples?
It was a delightful party with lots of guests wishing Bruce a happy birthday. It was also the last big party I will ever do.
Grateful to be married to such an old man.
P.S. If you knew the answers to these questions and you’re under age forty, you get a special prize.
