Colossal Birthday Brunch at 42nd and Cedar

That's a ginormous cinnamon bun under the pansies and frosting.

The cinnamon bun was as large as your face and a suitable stand-in for a breakfast birthday cake -- artfully adorned with pansies by our sponsor.
Daughter Marcy invited us to the south Minneapolis Colossal Cafe (which can seat 12 or so if you're friendly) to celebrate Stan's 69th today.

Jennifer appeared as a surprise guest and presented an etched set of keepsake weighted and balanced whiskey glasses that brought a tear to Stan's eye.
We gorged on a variety of foodie offerings, brought some home with us too, since Marcy was picking up the tab... we teased.
Lovely start to a beautiful day.
