Jill's 49th Birthday

 Jill's 49th birthday was Friday, March 4th. As usual, she marched forth to find all the free food she could, and then she posted it all on Facebook. I borrowed the photos for you.

Breakfast, lunch, snacks, dinner, dessert: Denny's, Starbucks, Krispy Kreme, Red Robin, Baskin and Robbins, Mom.



In between somewhere  there was a "cat nap".
And at home there were cards and daffodils and a personal cherry pie.
 Then Jill announced on Facebook that she had started this birthday eating fest on her 40th birthday and this would be the  "final grand treat tour, the end of an era of a good decade." Aw.  But when I asked her what's next, she thought maybe a three to four day weekend to a not too distant destination getaway. We'll see what adventure comes next.

Jill and Irene spent Saturday in the mountains, teaching a Mountaineers scrambling course. Then in the evening the family gathered for more eating. We went to a Black Angus Steak House, and all of us ate more MEAT than we usually do, and we had fun doing it! And, yes, we even stuffed in some dessert.




After all, birthdays demand cake!

  7. Can't help but admire Jill's traditions! But maybe it is for the best that the free food fest will end - probably healthier but boring.
