    Thank you, Paulette!

    I noticed Gordito sneaking off with his 2, and Honey B giving up on 1.

    Qhen Cy was in the greenhouse, did anyone else want to yell out “Cy, you missed a persimmon!” (or was it a cumquat? Cherry tomato?) Just me?

    I really like the idea of 2 birthdays a year to celebrate….Now I just need to pick my date.:wink:

      Mine is in Dec. For my 2nd, I would choose a date in July, when it’s warmer and everyone has vacation days!

    Happy birthday, Willy B and I am glad you managed to open up and enjoy your birthday snacks. One in each hand indeed. Those snacks sure were popular with the chimps
    :heart::heart:Thank you, paulette for sponsoring Willy’s special day.

    Oh my handsome Willy B! Such a special fellow you get two birthdays this year. That’s a lot of coconut cracking.

    Willy B has a special finesse when it comes to sipping (slurping!) his coconut water. Love his style. Lucky’s got it down, too. She’s very skillful.

    Thank you Hugs go to Paulette for being the best birthday fairy godmother ever. What a fun celebration. Made my day!

    Many happy returns of the day, Wee Bee!
    Thank you for your kindness, Paulette!
    The birthday boy seemed to enjoy the fight with the stubborn coconuts, it was a real challenge, but was worth the efforts!

    Since it has been implied in the past on this blog that Willy B has the appetite of two chimpanzees, and given my speculations that Willy has dual credentials as a gorilla, I think that it is only fitting that he has two birthdays per year. I wish him a happy new year of raising ruckuses, clacking his teeth while grooming, and making a favorable impression on Rayne.
