Joe's birthday was Friday. It began with a lovely morning.
Sunrise Friday, I tried a panoramic image.
Jesse, Cluny and Bryony created a birthday video before Jess went to work in Vancouver. How sweet!
The morning continued with me finishing up the wood pile. (See yesterday's post!) After I stacked another portion of wood, out we went to Merrickville for a birthday lunch. I'd coloured my hair prior to visiting my client, and he thought we ought to go out. It's just a spray-in, and lasts only a day or so. But, since I was glammed up...
It's a lovely drive in the day time. There were birds flocking in the water. What is it about the water that looks so peaceful?
It's a lovely town. We took a staycation trip to Merrickville in 2017 in winter, in Baldachin Inn in the bridal suite! Just for fun!
Anyway, our birthday lunch. It is a lovely setting.
I love this statue of the dolphin and the maiden. I told Joe to pose beside her.
The Joy of Olives, infused olive oils.
We'd saved room for dessert. Joe's bought himself a mini apple pie.
Our Ottawa kids did a birthday chat after dinner, with birthday wishes.
The cats konked out. They don't celebrate birthdays.
Apparently, the cats ordered Joe some books, and he ordered a new blanket for himself.
The moon was amazing. This was the best I could do that night!
We haven’t been to Merrickville for ages. After we first moved here, we would take guests there. We ate out at least once but not in that Inn. I see that it has tablecloths. That is very upscale for lowly me. I don’t know when I last ate at a restaurant with tablecloths.
ReplyDelete...Happy Birthday Joe, I remember my 75th too.
ReplyDeleteYou guys know how to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteAn excellent celebration! It is pretty special to be a three-quarter of a century old! Many happpy returns, Joe! Glad you told me the statue had a dolphin in it, sure couldn't find it by myself. You are so wild with pink hair! Do what you love, as they say!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a lovely birthday. What a good sport he is to wear a hat like that.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday. I am so glad that his special day was good. Love that hat.

You don't miss anything on birthday celebrations. Happy birthday Joe.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Joe, looks like you had a fabulous time. I have decided not to post anything to Canada now, as I found recipients have to pay import duty, even on used winter clothes!!!! However I can send a heap of good wishes and fondest greetings online. XXXXX Jean.
ReplyDeleteLove the beautiful pink skies. Happy belated 75th birthday to JB!
