last week I bought a lovely scarf at The Leaf…

today, while I was working my shift at the Mediterranean Biome exit spot, I watched a woman unfold a purple t-shirt in the Gift shop which is just outside the exit and perfectly in my view, lol…

so at the end of my day, I went and found one for me…

it is lovely and I know I will enjoy wearing it this summer;-)…

I may have to stop looking through those doors, lol…

a bit later, after I got home, a friend stopped by with a delicious piece of cake… we’d talked earlier in the week about this exact dessert… a lovely treat and visit…

I did share it with my housemate;-)…

pretty fine day…

and, of course, it was too much, lol…

we brought home enough for lunch tomorrow 🤪…

my buddy and I have been going to aquasize long before we both retired…

since retirement, we’ve been going to the Pan Am Pool, either Tuesdays or Thursdays…

last year my buddy went to the annual Aquasize Lunch and this year we both went…

we had a lovely meal at Breezy Bend…

it was fun to try to recognize one another with clothes, hair, and makeup…

there were lots of items to try to win, although we didn’t bring anything home, lol…

a lovely group of people;-)…

and the service was excellent…

big girl pants, birthday celebration, blessed, French high tea, friends, jewellery, moments, mothers, Pauline’s, tasty, Tea, truffles, widow

had a delightful time with my friends on Sunday to celebrate my birthday;-)…

we went to Pauline’s Bistro for their Sunday French High Tea…

there were a number of teas to choose from with tasty savoury items and dainties…

the platter I shared with a friend included a candle to celebrate my birthday;-)…

I really enjoyed the scones, but my favourite savoury bite was the: Thank You For The Truffle – Wild Mushroom Pâté, Black Truffle Oil, Thyme, Grilled Cherry Tomato…

it was very tasty…

my favourite sweet was: Sophie’s Sweet Surprise – Pistachio Sponge, Raspberry Confit, Pistachio Cream, Vanilla Chantilly, Fresh Raspberries…

we each wore a piece of our mothers’ jewellery to celebrate them… brooches, earrings, a necklace, and rings… we had fun sharing stories of the pieces we’d chosen…

lots of laughter and great conversation as we enjoyed our “tea”…

what a special treat;-)… and what a gift these women are in my life…

was treated to a blizzard to celebrate my birthday…

was kind of funny, because I was cold after getting chilled in an air conditioned restaurant…

so I sat there eating the blizzard in my winter coat, with the seat warmer going, and gloves on…

but it was a wonderful treat… and half of it did go into the freezer for another day, lol…

beef tartare, big girl pants, birthday eve dinner, blessed, brioche, delicious, dinner, family, food, Gather Craft Kitchen and Bar, happy, moments, new menu, The Leaf, widow

had dinner at Gather Craft Kitchen and Bar on Friday after my volunteer shift to celebrate my birthday eve…

the new menu looks great and we enjoyed everything we had…

we shared the brioche with butter and honey… the bread was warm and the butter soft… delicious… the look on my grandson’s face reminded me of the cartoon dog Snuffles, that rose into the air after eating something tasty…

then we had the potato paillassons, which were also delicious… yum…

I had the beef tartare… really enjoyed it with the bread…

my grandson had the grilled octopus, with paella rice, saffron aioli, and chervil, and noted how nicely it was cooked…

every bite was delightful… and I am looking forward to the next visit to try some of the other items…

yesterday I turned 75… amazing, lol…

there were phone calls, texts, cards, singing, plants, and hugs…

I was treated to lunch out and enjoyed our last PTE play of the season…

when I arrived home after the play, the groceries had been purchased, put away, and supper was underway…

we had steak and lobster, with potatoes, mushrooms, and onions in foil… all done on Glowy…

my birthday present from my family…

I am blessed…

for Easter dinner this year, we had barbecued steak, twice-stuffed potatoes, mushrooms, broccoli, and caesar salad…

I’d had great fun the day before, setting the table and adding a few Easter-y details…

dinner was delicious and we had carrot cake to finish it off…

wonderful to have a houseful of young people, lol… and between them the table was cleared and the kitchen cleaned up…

what a treat….

planned to start our errands with lunch at Sushi Cushi, only to discover that they open at 4 on Sundays;-(…

so, we decided to have dinner there instead…

the parking lot was jammed with cars and we wondered if we would get in, but happily, there were tables available…

sometimes we order and pick it up, but eating in is a treat;-)…

as always our food was delicious and we enjoyed every bite…
