One Last Birthday Dinner Before Casting Off
.
The packing was nearly finished when Brian called and invited us for a Bon Voyage Birthday Dinner. I usually don't like to do too many things on the day before leaving on a trip, but we were as good as ready. We went to The Lazy Dog, and I was all set in my mind to have the Orange Peel Chicken and rice. It's been months since we've had dinner there and we used to go all the time. That's Brian and his mother, Heidi, across the table from us. Heidi stays at the house when we're out of town and looks after all the animals. The cats adore her (and Brian as well!)
When the waiter came to the table and said the fish special was blackened ahi, I had to have that again. It's just a favorite; what else can I say? Our dinners were wonderful, and then we splurged and had the Pan Brownie with ice cream...and yes, it's as good as it looks! There's too much for less than four people, so it was fun to have it again.
Heidi wanted to have pictures taken with Ken and me, so here you are, Heidi!
We came home, sat and chatted a bit, talked to Heather on the phone, and then it was time to survey the packing one last time. We'll be on a cruise to Alaska for the next week, so after a brief dry spell, there should be a lot of pictures to share. The weather reports show cold, rainy days ahead, but we're going with 30+ friends, so I'm expecting to have an exceptionally good time, no matter what.
