All of the primates had a great day celebrating Annie (and Kelsi and Adam!) today.
Thank you to Paulette for always remembering the many birthdays at CSNW and sponsoring today for Annie on her 48th birthday. And thanks to Dr. Erin for bringing a load of edible flowers and grape vines!
Along with the always great produce (including edible orchid flowers and banana leaves) from Charlie’s Produce, we also harvested grapes from the vines that grow by the sanctuary caregiver house to round out the birthday forage.
Aside from this photo of Annie I took:
Here are a few other of my favorite photos of the day:

Thanks for all of the lovely pics and clear shots of the birthday girl, Diana! How did you find the time!? The flowers looked too pretty to eat-thanks to Dr Erin!
Looks like even without their usual patrol, they enjoyed the weather and the day.
And no less than FIVE mall walkers–well, hey there, Li’l Dora–she’s the caboose!
I hope those who had to work today will have wedding cake saved for them!

The opening pictures of Annie in both the video and the photograph seem to imply that our birthday girl began another year of life in good spirits. What a beautiful and endearing woman she is; we should all try to emulate her steadfast friendship to her life companion. I wish Annie a healthy and enjoyable new year of life…I hope.that the new location of the Carleen Tower will be to her liking.

Happy Birthday beautiful Annie! May you always be as happy as you are in that top photo. What an amazing feast! The flowers are absolutely gorgeous. Thank you Paulette, Dr. Erin, everyone at Charile’s Produce, and staff. And speaking of happiness, look at Jamie and Honey B eating their grapes.
Hummmm, I wonder if Kelsi’s wedding had food and decorations as top notch as this?!

Happy Birthday, Annie! I have to admit that Annie holds a special place in my heart. She is not domineering or particularly boisterous but she is steady, adorable and a quiet, steadfast cutie!
