As we all know, the 5th of February is Allison’s birthday, so its no surprise that there was a lot of excitement in the build up to the big day.

Folks started gathering early, some just sitting around waiting for the birthday party to begin.

But we had business to attend to before the festivities could get all the way underway, and that took us to this place where the Birthday mixer was made.

There were welders and cutters and grinders

.

.

[singlepic id=1386 w=320 h=240 float=]

and all sorts of people

.

pitching in to make the beautiful machine.

One reminded me of Ray Charles.

There were sparks flying

.

.

[singlepic id=1390 w=320 h=240 float=]

and lights flashing, and in due course

.

.

[singlepic id=1393 w=320 h=240 float=]

a big yellow B-Day Mixer emerged.

.

.

It was tested

.

.

[singlepic id=1395 w=320 h=240 float=]

and inspected

.

.

[singlepic id=1396 w=320 h=240 float=]

and touched up

.

.

[singlepic id=1397 w=320 h=240 float=]

and greased up

.

.

[singlepic id=1398 w=320 h=240 float=]

and lifted up

.

.

[singlepic id=1399 w=320 h=240 float=]

by a whole bunch of strong guys

.

.

[singlepic id=1400 w=320 h=240 float=]

who heaved and ho-ed

.

.

[singlepic id=1401 w=320 h=240 float=]

and pushed and pulled

.

.

[singlepic id=1402 w=320 h=240 float=]

until the mixer was safely

.

.

[singlepic id=1403 w=320 h=240 float=]

in the back of the little pick up that (we hoped) could. And then it took a twenty mile trip, its first, over some very mean roads

.

.

[singlepic id=1404 w=320 h=240 float=]

until it was pushed and pulled again

.

.

[singlepic id=1405 w=320 h=240 float=]

and guided safely

.

.

[singlepic id=1406 w=320 h=240 float=]

into its new home.

.

.

[singlepic id=1412 w=320 h=240 float=]

Where it lived up to its name and mixed the biggest, best B-Day cake ever.

.

.

[singlepic id=1418 w=320 h=240 float=]

And they all ate

.

.

[singlepic id=1419 w=320 h=240 float=]

happily

.

.

[singlepic id=1420 w=320 h=240 float=]

ever

.

.

[singlepic id=1421 w=320 h=240 float=]

after

.

.

[singlepic id=1422 w=320 h=240 float=]

The End.
