2018, Jonathan birthday

Jonathan birthday this year July 2018, was a  quiet affair with only  a few of his friends in attendance. It was because the next day we were due to fly to the UK for his graduation. I, as usual baked a birthday cake for this happy occasion. This time I chose to bake a carrot cake, which turned out quite satisfactory and very delicious, yes, I am not exaggerating as I have always loved carrot cake with the cream cheese icing. I even make some marzipan to cover the cake top before I iced it with the cream cheese so that it will be nice and even. I also bake my favourite sugar cookies, which is crisp and melt in the mouth taste. I actually gave these cookies, nicely wrapped as a thank you gift to Jonathan's friends. We did have a good time and later in the day Jonathan went out with his friends to celebrate a bit.

Garden of fruits at home in Patikang, Keningau

So much happening within these few months that I feel overwhelmed by it all. The weather has been
nice, that is warm and sunny and back home at my mother's place there has been a good bumper harvest of fruits. I sure would like to be there to taste those organic fruits as I could see by the picture they posted, all are juicy and full of goodness. My sister Josie even jokingly said that, oftentimes my sister Veronica and nephew Alex would walk to the exotic Longan tree  to just pluck the fruit and enjoy it. Well, I wouldn't be surprised at all because those fruits were tempting enough and the trees were overbearing with it.
