Happy birthday: When the Spokane Valley’s Cheri Mullenix turned 40 earlier this month, the event did not go unnoticed. Her husband, Mike, and family friends Stuart and Leslie Terhune, arranged for a small marching band. And along with a parade of casket-carrying friends costumed as extremely elderly people, the band shambled down their street and greeted Mullenix at her door.

That surprise and the ensuing party caught her off guard in part because Mike does not have a history of such birthday hijinks. Far from it.

“We’ve been married 21 years and he’s never done anything,” she said.

Children’s book title of the month: “Mr. Putter and Tabby Pick the Pears.”

“It has a delicious surprise resolution,” says The New York Times Book Review.
