This is our Story: Baby Boomers & the Yellow Submarine!

 

It happened one night; a party was born. Every event has a story and this is ours.

 

This is our story of hope, celebration and gratitude.

 

This is a story about a tall task and 'thee' most fantastical, one of a kind, Yellow Submarine cake- Ever! 

 

Thanks to Nancily, a dream has come true and a star has been born!!
 

It was a warm Florida night. Alicia was in her kitchen, the stove was hot and the smell of re-fried garbanzo beans floated into those familiar spaces that invite culinary house smells to linger. The door bell rang with nervous anticipation, time and again, until all the guests amassed.

Bottles were opened. Glasses kissed and toasts to the moon and the stars were lifted high. Five couples cheered on and two birthdays were celebrated that night.

It was a night of green palms crisply scented with that smell of of grass we all know. The breeze tipped the air with a touch of chlorine. The pool offered a glistening, happy light while little white boxes lined up around the circumference of the pond to embrace the reflection of the water with natural sparks and  low burning flames.

 

We laughed, no doubt it was the  result of the fire in our bellies ignited by smoke
 drunken
cigars
 big and small.

Melancholy was the last to arrive; bitter sweet memories surfaced; only a couple of years before we were collectively disheartened on a  solitary and comfortless November day. Our lives wheeled soundlessly for the longest time.  Grace was gone.

Birthdays came and went. My 50th went quietly and unnoticed; all other birthdays were packed away like the winter clothes you store in a typical Florida closet, shorn and dark. That night between the breeze and the banter, in the falling quiet, an idea was birthed; a motive to celebrate life: baby boomers, Beatles and a Yellow Submarine!

...'So we sailed on to the sun,
Till we found the sea green,
And we lived beneath the waves,
In our yellow submarine,

We all live in a yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine,
We all live in a yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine.

And our friends are all aboard,
Many more of them live next door,
And the band begins to play.'...
