Birthday Finale

What a day. Dinner at the Inn & Garden was great. I am a sucker for Rack of Lamb. And sure enough they had it.

While we were there we met a family from NJ who were traveling to the Outer Banks. They had decided that the ten hour drive should be broken up, and since this was their first trip there they would treat themselves to someplace special instead of just a motel. IMG_0958Did we mention the the Inn & Garden is also a B&B??? Desert  was accompanied by a serenade by the chef and waitress. The evening culminated with a movie at home, ‘Drowning Mona’ with Danny DeVito, Bette Middler, and Jamie Lee Curtis. We wondered why we had never heard of this movie or seen it advertised. Within 15 minutes we knew why. My advice; watch an old musical or a sci-fi flick.

Again, THANK YOU ALL for your birthday wishes. For those of you still awaiting the big SS Date i can say it was painless.

It looketh goodeth.

A trick for remembering dessert vs desert: you want two helpings of dessert, so it takes two esses. My wife isn't the world's greatest speller, so that's one of the memory hooks that she taught me and is the only reason I remember. (PS: not trying to be a condescending smart alec.)

Happy Birthday...To you.. La la la ...clear throat.... Happy Birth.... Cough Cough, clear throat... La lal.... OH poo... I cant sing so I will just have to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY loudly.
Looks like you had an awesome one minus that movie, I am with you on the review. Love the meal you had, I think I would have started with dessert first... looks awesome.

Have a blessed weekend and GOD keep you safe.
