+ I bought peonies for Vivian and myself. They are my favorite flower, yes, but I forget how much I love watching them evolve from tight little balls to the most gorgeous flower on the planet. (Trader Joe's has them - get 'em while you can!)
+ I ate a chocolate chip milkshake for lunch. OK, I had a sandwich on the side, but we all know it's all about the milkshake. And the good company.
+ Dinner at Rossotti's, the family summer hangout of my childhood. Grilled cheese (open face, with ketchup - I'm very particular), the best fries and the best ambiance I know. No trips down to the creek to look for tadpoles or baby frogs this time (difficult while holding a baby), but we spotted a coyote in the field beyond the creek. I was so happy to be here with my little family - it was on the 2008 list, and I know the summer ahead is full of return trips.

Sounds like a lovely day! I LOVE the fries there. I haven't been back in a long time. We rode horses there every once in awhile.
Yay Rossotti's! it sounds like you had an awesome bday... Cant wait for the first day of Summer: Ice cream for Dinner!
what a happy birthday! and i love those peonies!
We'd love to meet you at "Zots" some time - my parents used to go there on dates so it has a very special place in my heart, too, and we live pretty close by.
