Fab Weekend

My weekend in the sun (literally and figuratively) as the Birthday girl is drawing to a close and it was one to remember. This was the first year that I spent sharing my Birthday with Kevin. I am used to having people that are within a day or two, but I didn't mind sharing. We went out to Mark's in Sheboygan. I got the Chicken Kiev, because who wouldn't like chicken wrapped around a stick of butter for their Birthday, and Kevin got the tenderloin. The food was good, but there were definite apprehensions when we entered and noted that we were the only ones there. The decor was 70s retro chic. My mom asked if that was on purpose, or if there hadn't been a remodel since then. I am thinking that it is the latter. We were sat by a big guilt clock that was hung on a piece of orange carpet that was on the wall. I guess I should be happy that it wasn't shag carpeting. The waiter was a young man of about 20 with all the social graces of someone that has just discovered that there are real people in the world other than the avatars that he communes with online. With the ambiance, the waiter, and the lack of patrons Kevin had me rolling by the time the salad made it to us. Would I go back again? Oh yeah, any out of town guests need to experience this. The food is good, but that's not why I feel the need to frequent that establishment. I do have to say that there is a part of me that also wants to help out the local guy.

Saturday I meet up with the family at the Cuz's house for breakfast and then back to my place to unload the sofa and table that the rents brought for Minnesota. I have to say that the sofa is my new favorite piece of furnature. The dogs like it too. A quick stop to my ailing aunt Doris was next on the list. We brought bunches of mint from my yard that can be brewed into a tea. I don't know if she actually used it, but it's the thought...RIGHT? Next on our agenda was a brief stop at Target and then a Chiness Buffet for lunch. Then away to Best Buy, where I was bestowed the most awesomest laptop that is allowing my to write this now! After getting my laptop all set up I was wisked away to Grandma Fix-it's for the evening meal before heading over to my uncle and aunts to celebrate another birthday! Happy Birthday Uncle Dennis!

Sunday was another whirlwind. I slept in and then picked up the little cuz to have lunch at Grandma's and say goodbye to the rents before they headed back. When I left there Steph (the little cuz)took me horseback riding. I wasn't on my A game and she told me that I made the horse look drunk with the way we were going one way to the other. I said that it might have been the bourbon that I gave her before we left. I don't think that she believed me... the boys came out with me and played with their new favorite friend Cooper. I like that they get tired out and even as I sit here and type this they are passed out on the chair and couch.

As I said, it was a good weekend and I want to thank everyone in the family for their love and support and all my friends for their well-wishes. I can only hope that all my Birthdays are this wonderful.
