It's my birthday, the 35th anniversary of one of my earlier birthdays, we won't say which one. We went to Savannah to celebrate yesterday. it was hot, 94º, but expected to be even hotter today. And it was indeed hot, even on the river, but our restaurant, The Cotton Exchange, was cool and dark. We swore we'd have something different, but we lied! Had calamari for a starter and it came with the greatest dip, some sort of pepper jelly. Forgot to take a picture till they were almost gone. Then Mac had a Low Country Boil and I had a Shrimp Salad. The portions were so huge we brought about half home.
I'd opened my presents from our daughter on Monday when we Skyped with her, she gave me a beautiful wooden box stuffed with goodies including chocolate.
This morning started with flowers on my nightstand from Mac, a set of 4 ceramic pumpkins and a little birdhouse.
But every girl needs some bling in her life and I've been wanting a chandelier for my closet, so Mac spent Tuesday installing one for me. It's so pretty, I just need to find a clear, tear-shaped lightbulb for it.
What a wonderful, thoughtful family I have.
Happy, Happy Birthday! Sounds like you got pampered perfectly. The bling is so pretty! I envy you, your wooden box. Your family really knows how to do a birthday proud!
