semperfionaThank you all for the lovely birthday greetings today!
It's been a fabulous day. My family took me to dinner at Brazie's, one of my favorite restaurants of EVER, but where we hadn't been for years.
Wow. I've just lost my whole train of thought. Chris is playing that link that's been going around: Susan Boyle singing on the British talent show...My eyes are streaming.
Okay, recovering from the staggering beauty of that performance.
Dinner was lovely. Tammie and I had almost settled on a dish to share, and then the waiter told us the specials. He said Our Word: scallops. And they were luscious: cooked just to doneness and not a second longer.
I got some fancy new toys for my camera: a new telephoto lens and a set of UV and polarizing filters (one to fit each of the lenses we have). And a cute dress for Rosa, along with some silly fun toys, and a matching denim jacket.
Some fun cards
