Wow...this has been a great birthday for me because I got to celebrate it with my family. This weekend Timothy and Ashley came home to Charlotte to celebrate my birthday with me and we all went out for a great dinner at one of our favorite local restaurants, PF Chang's. My oldest son, Mitchell and my sister, Debbie also joined us and we all walked down from our apartment to the restaurant. Of course on Saturday evenings there is a waiting line, over an hour, but we all knew that and so we sat around outside at the lovely courtyard sharing a glass of wine while we waited to be seated. It was the first time that Tim, Ashley and Mitchell had been there and they were pleasantly surprised. Here's a shot of us all after we finished that the waiter took...it's not the greatest but at my age...fuzzy is a good thing...lol
So the waiter wanted a second shot because Tim's eyes were closed...not much better but a bad shot, like a good shot still brings back the great memories and that's fine with me.
So last night for my actual "Birthday" my husband wanted to take me out for a romantic dinner at another one of our favorite restaurants, Maggiano's Little Italy. It was a very wet, rainy day (hence why I was able to focus and finish a page in my Altered Book) and I was in the mood for warm, comfort food. My favorite dish there is the Chicken and Spinach Mannicotti...and they also make the best Martini's...had to have just one with blue cheese stuffed olives....yummy in my tummy!
This photo is much better...the lighting in the restaurant helped and the waiter was very patient. Of course, I love any photo of me and my darling husband...I'm so blessed...and I never take him for granted...love you Kevin and thank you for making me feel so special...always and forever, Bobbi
Happy belated birthday, my sweet friend!
