I've always enjoyed the fact that my Birthday is on Earth day. It's not only because birthday and earth day sound alike, but it's also because everyone is in a cheery mood, celebrating the planet and sharing in goals that I've always been a fan of, ie. recycling, composting, general conservation.
I've been out for lunch twice now for my birthday. Hubby took me out to my favorite resaurant in town. This is a big deal because the last time we went out was Valetine's day. We got a complimentary "Death by Chocolate" dessert and it lived up to it's name. It was crazy dense and chocolately. Too much for me. I was already full of Walleye.
Yesterday my MIL and SIL took me out to Carol's resaurant in Blaine for lunch. I can only say great things about this place. The menu and food quality is amazing. The waitstaff gave me a raspberry sundae and clapped and sang a song. The awkwardness was easily forgotten by the richness of the raspberry sauce. It's their homemade jam. Bliss.
Baby D was very well behaved for both outings and enjoyed taking in the scenery. She travels well and delights in people watching.
We ran several errands today after lunch. We went to the bank and they gave us a little Blue Spruce sapling in a tube. I'll have to find the perfect spot for it at the property. We went to REI for some clothes for Daddy and then to Once Upon a Child in Roseville for books, toys and pajamas for Baby D. I can't believe she's outgrowing footed sleepers. How is she getting so big so fast?!
Right now Baby D and the dogs are all taking a nap. Maybe I should join them.
