My Birthday Weekend

June 12 was my birthday.

Now, I'm not one to make a big deal about my birthday.

- It's not that I don't like birthdays and I've always thought

my birthday fell at the absolute BEST time of the year...

School was ending

Summer was just around the corner

People were graduating

going on vacation

getting married

and...

it was almost exactly

smack-dab

in the middle between Christmases!

So, you can imagine my surprise when a co-worker baked a cake for me on Friday

and my co-workers all signed a card for me and shared my cake.

Saturday, Tiana and I went to 

Parade the Circle on Wade Park Oval.

(PTC is an artistic, funky, creative parade and is a lot of fun!)

Saturday evening, my family took me out to dinner at

"High Thai'd" (formerly Mint Cafe) on Coventry.

I had a wonderful time and the Thai food was superb!!

(even my father in law really liked his entree - even though he 

is not a culinary adventurer like my daughters and I!)

Back to the apartment to continue our celebration with a birthday cake

and some fun time with my grandson, Julius.

All this, and my birthday wasn't even until the next day!!!

Sunday, I was amazed that so many people at church knew it

was my birthday, then I realized...  Oh Yeah...

Facebook!!

After church, my daughters "kidnapped" me to

Lucky's Cafe in the Tremont area.

The brunch there was sooooo delicious.

The restaurant was featured on a TV show,

Drive Ins, Diners and Dives.

It may seem like a hole in the wall 

in a less than "posh" neighborhood,

but let me tell you!  It had some of the best fare I'd ever tasted! 

While at the restaurant, my daughters presented me with a birthday present..

a beautiful Asian fan!

I had the best Birthday ever!!

thanks Tiana and Cara!!!
