Spring had arrived, Stanley and his Princess were awakening from the long, cold, snowy winter. On one of his strolls, Stanley met up with Firefly, Squirrel, and a couple that called themselves Celtic Pride. Word had it that Lady Prisspot was coming to town. Excitement filled the air! Knowing that Princess Turtle's birthday was coming up, Stanley wanted to have a party. He choose a lovely nearby lake for the big event. Friends came from far and wide. Her quirky relatives, The Lizardbutt family, from California and Mary, the daughter of the Old Dominion, from Virginia.

#1 Yum, Yum Chocolate Cake
They met at the Tomato Palace. Heading left past the Asian decor, they followed a paved path. One bridge, two bridge leads to the path that everyone calls No Path. Being turtles they had to take a rest at the first park bench. You don't have to, you can stay on No Path. They had to jump the rocky creek and then to their dismay another. Now they were on an island. Sitting on the big boulder to their right was the Apple dumpling Gang. Cat had made a beautiful cake for the birthday party. Under the boulder, facing the lake and behind small rocks is your slice of cake!

#2 Make a Wish
Sarah and Tammy from the Gang were deep in discussion. Sarah said, "this island is a bit odoriferous!" Tammy's response was, "it smells like perfume to me!" Sarah said that up ahead was a lovely garden and if she stayed 1 more minute she would barf all over Tammy. All agreed (but Tammy), so off they traveled down the rocky path. Sure enough, it was like the movie The Wizard of Oz. The dark woods opened up to a beautiful garden. Everyone gathered at the third bench. A lovely spot to view the herons. Behind them was the dark woods. Stanley told his love that she should make her wish at the tree behind the tree of 3. So Princess Turtle carefully made her wish as she steered clear from the evil Poison Ivy.

#3 Crowning the Princess
Oh, how she hoped her wish would come true. It was getting late, the party was breaking up, so everyone continued down the path. They dumped all their trash into the 3rd. trash bin. Princess Turtle thought she saw something glistening off to her left. Bookworm said it was just the river sparkling in the setting sunlight. No! She insisted they all follow her. From the trash bin they walked toward the river. Facing down river and to their immediate right were the 5 sisters. One must have had too much pond scum 'cause she had a hard time standing. Hiker picked up Princess Turtle and Stanley and took 22 paces where they came upon a fallen man. Lady Prisspot, smiled at the young Princess. She was a very smart turtle. For this was where Lady Prisspot had hidden the family jewels. She whispered into Princess Turtles ear, "Look where you shouldn't. "The princess was timid, but did as she was told. She squealed with delight!!! Her wish had come true. Lady Prisspot said she had finally reached the magical age to wear the family tiara. Everyone decided to celebrate back at the Tomato Palace. So they continued down the path.

THE END
