Answer: Very creatively
How do you celebrate a birthday in groups of 10 or less and with conditions where blowing out candles are verboten?
Very creatively.
That’s how the Suters celebrated wife, mother and grandmother Linda Suter’s most recent journey around the sun. The celebration took place on Sunday afternoon in the driveway of Bob and Linda’s residence at 122 Grove Street.
And, it was a party of exactly 10.
The happy birthday tune was performed in four-part harmony. On the left side are Ray and Beth Raeburn and son, Andrew.
On the right side are Pete and Kim Suter and children, Jacob, Elam and Makayla.
Standing in the garage doorway is husband, dad and grandfather Bob. The birthday girl is holding the sign.
