Days

It was a full weekend! Busier than I prefer, but really worth every minute.

Friday evening, we celebrated my boy's birthday. We had great fun!

Our chef was particularly entertaining. He ooohed and ahhhed us with his skillful use of cutlery and fire! He made a volcano out of an onion and sliced and diced with lightening speed. The food was delicious, as were the drinks. The best part of the evening,though, was the smiles it brought to us. You can almost see them, yes??


Saturday afternoon? Tea! A friend decided to retire from teaching this year and we girls thought Afternoon Tea would be a fitting celebration. We had a blast! There's a hotel in the BIG city that's been serving Tea for something like 5 million years. The setting was lovely, the service was superb (haha! I typed suburb!) and the tea and treats were beyond yummy! We sat and munched and talked and laughed for hours. We snooped around the hotel and took funny pictures. What a pleasant day!


Sunday we participated in a local charity event. It was a 3rd annual walk put on by a foundation that is near and dear to me. The event was uplifting and heartwarming. Remember to hug your loved ones today...especially your little ones. It'll make you feel better and you'll be so glad you did.

~Last night I learned that my best friend and co-worker and the 2nd of our 3 musketeers will be moving on to better things and leaving me alone (so-to-speak). I feel like my heart is broken. More on that later. sighhh.....

~Tonight for dinner we had tri-tip and roasted potatoes with Chardonnay. Really, now...what were we thinking???

~We're OUT of wine. Not a drop in the house. (which explains the white wine-beef and potatoes pairing.)

~tomorrow? Bev-Mo! or Costco! or Trader Joe's!

~I HATE health insurance companies. They control our lives and our health care and take our money. I hate the phone menus and the insulting customer service they provide. I hate the HMO bullshit.

~Thanks to an idea put in my head by RG, I bought a pair of shoes on eBay. I sure hope they fit.

~My baby boy turns 22 on Saturday. I can remember the day he was born like it was yesterday. (okay, not yesterday but i can't believe it was twenty two years ago)...and the toddler years (SO sweet!)..and the school-aged years. He's a young man now, still discovering and growing. I love him with all my heart, like only a mom can love a son. Happy Birthday, sweet boy. May you find happiness in all your journeys....
