Birthday Memories.

I had a very special birthday today. I

truly was not excited for today but in

the end, it was so special in so many

ways. I may have to share several posts.

This morning, we went to our weekly

Chamber of Commerce breakfast and

dh shared it was my birthday and I was

caught off guard. And then they all sang

"Happy Birthday" to me and it was the

sweetest moment! I was truly touched.

After the meeting, we headed to our office

for a bit to gather what we need for our

even tomorrow night, then had a meeting

with our volunteer centre for our festival.

Once that was done, we headed to one

of our local hotels to talk with their team

about our requirement for next Summer's

festival. At the end, after an amazing tour,

the GM asked if we had plans. Dh said

"it's Chy's birthday, so we're going to

head home for a bit before we celebrate

with family later. And then they offered

to have us come into the restaurant for

lunch, on them. We had the best time

eating the amazing food and talking

with staff who were brought over to be

introduced to us. We were so full at

the end but they sent us home with a

tray of birthday desserts. So incredible!

We will be back for dinner over time.

Let me share the photos: #1 is the name

of the restaurant. I'm assuming its a chain.

#2 is our appetizer: garlic aioli Crustini with

a goat cheese dip. A great start to lunch. #3

is a shot of my burger. I'm not a meat eater

but decided to try this for the cheese and

the bacon and pickles. It was so very good.

#4 is the Caesar Salad that came with my

lunch. It was equally amazing. I did have

to take half my lunch home as it was too

much for me. #5 is a shot of the in house

made lemonade that I now want to know

what they mix it with. Again, so good! And

finally, #6 is a shot of the washroom. So

elegant. We felt so well looked after and

know that this is the perfect spot for artists.

More birthday memories coming up!
