J’s Birthday Fun! Yay 43!

For the first time in YEARS I worked on my birthday. Y'all know I take that day off! But, I had to be a grown up and a professional and show up to be part of a team of problem solvers for some stuff. So, it was fine. This is me in my office :-)

When I got home, I read a book with a cup of tea!

And opened presents :-)

Savvy is super talented at card making. I don't know what youtube channel she watches, but her cards are always incredibly beautiful and 3D.

We hit up the new Amazin Pho spot down the street. Yes, it was amazing. And we went to the Norman Rockwell museum for this exhibit. Fantastic! It is worth checking out the work online. During covid times, the artist would paint one woman a day. So many stories of everyday people doing incredible things. So much history! The mix of historical people and present day living people is inspiring.

I had a couple subpar milk frothers die on me. Because I was being frugal and thought they would last. So I got an upgrade! Way better than any coffee shop.

And we did a long weekend with a 4 hour road trip across the border to Montreal. It was cold and beautiful. The archaeology museum was great and we saw a witches exhibit that I had been following online. It was well worth the drive! stunning images, history, and stories of people. I'm really glad we got to see this exhibit.

Did I mention it was cold?

Matt made sure my laces were just right on my ice skates.

Can't go to Montreal and not get crepes!

Trying different potato chips was an adventure in our hotel room. The hotel was connected to a grocery store. You know how we travel!

And we will always find a brunch! Highly recommend. 10 out of 10. I researched forweeks and decided on this place. My family laughed at me when I said we had to get there early. We were 5th in line and when we left, the line was outside and down the street. In the snow. The cold snowy snow. Totally worth it!
