On my birthday Eve, Gabby and Sandy treated me to some decorated homemade fudge, set in a heartshaped tin. I rose on Friday morning, to find Gabby in an unimaginably cheerful mood! It was WEIRD. I received a surprise box of gourmet cupcakes from Uncle T, at my doorstep! The box contained 4 Red Velvets, 4 Fudge Chocolates, and 4 Andes Mints. They were unbelievable. Then I welcomed Melissa and her littles in, bearing a Chai Tea Latte for me!! We visited for a short while. I spent most of the day responding to facebook birthday wishes!
We went out to dinner at Akebono. It was so delicious and relaxing. We got a great big table and didn't have to wait at all. I forgot to mention that Kaleb insisted on dressing like "Daddy", and wore his dress shoes, dress shirt, tie and vest. He was happy until he spilled half a bowl of miso soup in his lap and cried about wet pants pretty much the entire dinner. He was tired and his tooth hurt from "biting Gampy" earlier in the week. Gabby gave everyone complementary back scratches. Penny insisted we say grace and finish with a firm "AMEN". I had the Pepperfin, the Lemon Drop, and the Lemon Blossom Roll. It was completely divine. The family was a bit relieved that I didn't have any announcements, being that we were at a sushi restaurant with an eighteen month old by side...That usually only means one thing!
I came home to find Gene home from his first official week in Bakersfield. He had in hand, a batch of fresh flowers and two paper bags from the Nugget, for breakfast. I had a cupcake. The following morning, Gene and Penny made me breakfast in bed. The menu read; raspberry-lemonade mimosa, Tuscan Scramble, and a sugared citrus salad with grapefruits and tangelos. Lovely Lovely.
