A visit to the Kauffman Garden

On Friday, James, Lucy and I took my two girlfriends Erin White and Kerrey Roberto to the Kauffman Garden to enjoy the spring flowers. Then we went home a drank a lot of white wine while watching wedding-related T.V. shows. A perfect day.

Happy Birthday Emily

We celebrated my birthday Saturday night. The weather was a little stormy, but we were able to eat al fresco, which was lovely. The menu was grilled shrimp, a mushroom, cheese & vegetable strudel, and a lovely little salad with beets, oranges and baby greens. My sister Vanessa made a fantastic lemon cake for dessert, but we had to eat that on the screen porch as things had grown too stormy outside. In addition to Vanessa and her boyfriend Bo we also had my two best friends from college staying with us for a wine-soaked weekend of birthday fun.
