Getting older is certainly not something anyone likes to do - once we are past about 20 anyway. So whenever we can have fun doing it - that is a good thing. This week Michael turned 50. I am sure he didn't have much fun with that but we did try to make his birthday one to remember and one that was fun. Christie spent a lot of time preparing and helping him celebrate all week long with flowers, decorations (black ornaments in his car at work and on the tree at home!), cupcakes and banners.
On Wednesday night we all got together and went downtown for seafood at Hank's. Michael ordered a huge tower of seafood to start - shrimp, clams, oysters, crab, mussels etc. It was beautiful. We enjoyed a very nice red wine and then more great seafood. I had shrimp and grouper served with sweet potato chips - it was fantastic! After dinner we all went for ice cream. Talk about decadence!
I would just like to thank Michael for turning 50 so that the rest of us had a good reason to celebrate and have fun with him! Thanks, Michael!
Happy B-day Michael! Jim turned 50 last November. Your daughter is so georgous!
ReplyDeleteHappy 50th Michael. I wish I could have been there for that celebration. A tower of seafood just makes my mouth water. I so miss the food in the south. We have great Tex-Mex and BBQ here in Texas and I love them both, but I yearn for good seafood which is non existent here unless we bring it in ourselves. Tomorrow we are doing another crawfish boil. This one is for a group of business associates. I'll spend the day teaching them how to eat or they'll starve!
ReplyDeleteOMG! Jim turned 50 too!. We can't call him the kid anymore, damn. Happy belated B-day, Jimbo.
