For my 41st bday, I had the honor of celebrating with some folx who have become dear friends here. Matt asked me what I wanted to do. I said I wanted to eat and rollerskate. He said, "Done."
In Albany, NY, about an hour away, there is a delicious dim sum place that also has a big bakery. Our friends made the trip to dim sum and there was so much joy in that little back room. I cannot believe we all fit! The food kept coming, steaming, fresh, flavorful. The cake was one of the most beautiful I have ever had. And of course we sung Happy Birthday Our Way- the only way- a la Stevie Wonder!
After that perfect meal, we hit up Guptil's Roller, known as a guniess world record holder for being one of the largest indoor rinks. The music and the moves were equally great.
Finally, we went grocery shopping! Lol. Yes, this is adulting at it's finest! I may have gone a littlwe wild in the Trader Joes, they just have so many great snacks and drinks. Plus we don't go that often because of the distance. It was a great day and I am still feeling the love thanks to some very thoughtful cards and snail mail. They sit atop the piano, and I smile at them every time I walk by. Cheers to this next trip around the sun!
