Thursday - Februay 18

 What a fun day!     It was warm and windy but just delightful spent with dear friends and neighbors.    I drove downtown and met Claire and Kathy at the new Luminary Hotel and we enjoyed coffee and shared a slice of their wonderful banana bread sitting outside along the water.    Then we were off to Buckingham Farms for lunch - sooo good and Kathy's 1st time there.   

Then back to Cypress Trail and sat on the patio enjoying dessert, wine and chocolates.    So much to chat about and sad that it will be awhile since we're together again - maybe May in Bloomington?

My delicious birthday fruit torte - oh my.... scrumpdilliicious!

Claire and Kathy in a pretty setting!

At 4:30 we walked across the street to Buddy and JoAnn's for snacks, dessert and more chatter.    Beautiful evening to sit under the Tiki and enjoy the ambiance. 

Birthday treat - fudge brownie pie made by JoAnn with mint chip ice cream.
Sinfully gooey good and a box of Zees chocolates

Awesome neighbors - Buddy and JoAnn

What a fun (and high calorie) day this has been!    Great friends from long ago and fairly new ones here at Cypress Trail - so blessed and my birthday-to-be is off to a great start.
