July 7, 2015. Western Head, N.S. Happy Birthday Mary.

After the Mersey Band Concert tonight, our friends of The Gull Bay Group gathered for dinner at Lanes, but Ken and I could not join them as we had16 for dinner at our own home.   I mentioned at dinner that perhaps we could stop by the restaurant just to give Mary birthday greetings.  With the girls chiming in their ideas, we finally decided that the girls would each make a card for Mary, with one from the men and then from each lady individually.  And we decided for all the girls and ladies would  go into the restaurant and sing Happy Birthday to Mary,  standing in a circle around their table, so that is what we did.

All in a row, we 13 walked  across the crowded restaurant and made a circle around their table.  The five of them looked astonished.    Without a word, we sang lustily, Happy Birthday Dear Mary, then each presented their card to Mary and left.   Everyone enjoyed our stunt.  The girls did a great job with their cards and everyone at the birthday table were surprised.  I hope they were also pleased.   The distaff side of the Dickie family enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
