Since it is sort of hard to just pop home for those special occasions, we are substituting a few dates. I am sadly going to miss Christmas, Thanksgiving, and of course Zac’s and my birthday. Thank goodness for Amazon and online stores cause I plan on ordering from there and having them deliver directly to my friends and family. Since my 58th birthday will fall when I am with Barb in New Mexico, Zac & I decided to celebrate my birthday early.
For my pre-Birthday present Zac made me pancakes for breakfast and then took me sailing. Rather he called it adver-sailing – because we were advertising Barry’s Beach Service rentable Hobie Cats. Nice wind and fast sail, and one person rented a boat after seeing our adver-sail-ment. Nicole’s pre-Birthday present was a free hair cut and color job. NO MORE GRAY! Because I really miss Italian food, for my last night in Georgia, Nicole (of Italian decent) made a great Lasagna. “The Court” neighbors Larry and Rosie joined us. Zac, who makes the best chocolate chip cookies EVER, made a batch for us. It was topped off with an Ice cream birthday cake and a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday to you. I am so lucky to have these people in my life.
We are eating out most nights so I can get my fill of Georgia cooking. One night we went to the 4th of May a local down-home southern cooking restaurant. In lieu of Thanksgiving I had turkey and cornbread stuffing with cranberry dressing and mash potatoes. (But it still wasn’t the same as Larry’s deep fried Turkey)
