Happy Birthday Mutti.

Alles Gute zu Deinen Geburtstag.

Here tradition prevails: Mom always made sure before we had to dash off to school that on our birthdays she would arrange the table with presents [presies], flowers and a cake[unsalted butter] with all the appropriate lit candles on. Today I insist on the same tradition but unfortunately electronically. Wish you were here, Mom and all the very best on your Birthday!!
