All VU forum members are invited to celebrate the birthday of @SnapDragon NY throughout today, January 5, and tonight. It's a slumber party like you haven't seen since your teens.

Snap the magic dragon had a birthday dream. She woke to music, love and laughs and a big coffee with cream. Just a moment later she knew it was no dream, for all her friends were here to throw Snap's birthday jamboree.

Music made the party a happy gathering, with fife and strings and strong drum beats to draw arrivals near.

They played for Snap the birthday songs, for all to sing along.


Even Ozzy sang for Snap, he held us all in thrall.


Stick around, for this party is a sleepover. January in northern climes will never have comfortable temps for a dragon, but we didn't want to take Snap too far from her responsibilities. No need to warm up the car to get here. Your sleigh driver can drop you at the front deck of the chalet we rented. Nobody has to go home on icy highways either. This cozy, light filled stone and timber chalet has ten bedrooms, each with private bath, some with a fireplace, all stocked with brand new pajamas, slippers and robes for guests. When the night is over we'll have breakfast together before heading home safely in daylight hours.

Arrive whatever time you want. There's plenty of food for snacks, or to make yourself a big sandwich for lunch, with hot soup. The chalet has a hot tub for a plunge. Later we'll have dinner, party snacks, music and lots of fun.

So claim your room, drop off your toothbrush, and dress for comfort, or style up to dance your animal. Pajamas are allowed at the table, for dinner and for breakfast.

A bash of this magnitude needs more than one cake to serve everyone, a maple glazed banana bread whipped up by Gloopdegurp, a fancy lemon cake and a whimsical donut cake with vape candles from the village bakery. Everybody eats!

Dinner is at 7. After dinner, throughout the evening as desired, we'll have coffee, tea, hot cider, cocoa, popcorn, cheese & crackers, nuts, chips, candy, all you would expect at a pajama party.

Snap, keep checking back here as your many friends show up with cards and birthday wishes. We'll post tomorrow morning's breakfast spread late tonite.

Happy birthday Snap! We love you.

These are Jimi's wishes and gifts. He even has a whole movie here that he thought you would enjoy. I promised I would post for him because of his sore wrist. The words are his.

A song for your heart, one I know you love:


Snowdrops, the flower of January:

And may I give you a full length movie? If you've seen it, you know it will make you laugh:

When you land on the page, you'll see two options to view, Movies4K and VidKing. VidKing is the one that works currently.

And in your whole life did anybody ever give you a 6 ft tall teddy bear for your birthday?

It only cost 1028.00, but don't worry I put it on credit. And then I moved away to another country, at least until they stop looking for me.

Happy birthday Snap! Thinkin of you today.

Dear Snap,

A birthday is often about memories of the love and laughs of earlier times. Here are some things to take you down memory lane today.

When Snap, as a teenager, went on a sledding adventure, flying along at high speed, having a blast, she almost ran right over a Wolfie who was minding her business. With quick reflexes, Wolfie jumped out of the way and tumbled down the snowy hill. When Snap made it down to check if Wolfie was okies, I was just laughing from rolling in snow. Snap started laughing seeing that Wolfie was OKAY.

That day we instantly became friends, and went sledding together often, always having a blast!

We grew up, but our hearts stay forever young...

We're on track for cocktails before dinner at 7.

Our starters are Jimi's French onion soup and parmesan zucchini crisps, Gloop's Sicilian pizza, a crisp salad, the entree prime rib and lobster tails, big ol' pile of french fries, Goph's sourdough bread. Dessert, of course, is cake and cake and cake.

Wish I'd found that for Jimi's party when we were dancin' in the street. The one I had was just the one motion, flipping over and over. I seached evey day for weeks for a better one.

I just google searched dragon dancing and saw this, they probably make all kinds of dancing things.

Well it is time for me to head out- Thanks to all of you who made my birthday so very special, I truly appreciate it so much!

See you at breakfast. Goph is making omelettes, I'm making crepes. And nobody will judge anybody who has cake for breakfast, seeing as we still have plenty of it left.

Sleep well birthday girl.

Dinner is over, and our party girl has gone up to her room to snooze. Not everybody will sleep so early, so now we have snacks and all the drink choices, including a few bottles yet of the Cristal brought by @Freyja. Some of us will sing, some will dance, some will play party games or play cards, some will just relax, until the last one has gone up for a cozy night's sleep.

Before each one goes up to bed, please leave a note on the kitchen bulletin board, what time you'll want breakfast, and which hot dish you want, omelette, crepes or both.

We'll have all the wake-up drink options: an assortment of organic fruit juices, oat milk mocha, coffee, tea, cocoa, all preferences covered.

Our chalet comes with daily housekeeping, but no chef, so Goph has offered to make breakfast, French style omelet gently beaten in the hot pan, western style with additions of onions, herbs and cheese, topped with his garden habanero hot sauce. Sausage patties and sourdough toast complete the meal. Tomatoes add freshness to the sturdy breakfast proteins. The kitchen is fully equipped, so people can toast Goph's sourdough to light, medium or dark as desired, or make cinnamon toast in the oven.

Some people make great pancakes. Mine are hockey pucks, but I can make crepes, straight from the pan to your plate. Add whatever you like to yours, butter, whipped cream, honey, jam, nutella, fresh fruit, sliced almonds.

Goph's sausage has the tantalizing sizzle, but for the vegetarians among us, we have a scrumptious vegan bacon made from rice paper, light oil, tamari, maple syrup and liquid smoke.

Here's a preview of breakfast. Everybody can fill up for the chilly trip home.

Thank you all VU members who attended this beautiful celebration.. I hope we will all be taking home great memories of the time we have shared, and that Snap will feel the warmth of our love for a long time to come.
