wonderful evening…

supper out with my dear friends… we went to Pizzeria Gusto and had a lovely dinner…

shared lobster risotto and roasted brussel sprouts… and ended with half of a chocolate tart… delicious…

we enjoy one another’s company and always have things to share…

dinner out was to celebrate one of our birthdays… we have a birthday bag that goes from person to person…

we have used this bag for many years and it has been repaired a few times… but the fun when we pull it out for the next person’s birthday is just wonderful…

the birthday woman wanted to eat on a patio and we thought we’d picked a great spot, but then discovered it didn’t have an actual patio where you could eat, lol…

took numerous emails and texts to work out our plan, but we did…

it was warm but not hot on the patio and, as always when we gather, time flew by and we had lots of fun…

dropped off at home and spotted these irises blooming…

nearly missed them… it was serendipitous that I stepped out onto the deck and walked just far enough to see them… 

a final special moment to end a very special evening…
