Friday, July 5, 2019 was the actual 40th birthday of our
son, Nicholas Patrick!
That meant an actual date night for the darling and me!
Our family threw the big surprise birthday bash last weekend
as that was the time all the kiddo's from out of town could make it in from
Austin, Atlanta and San Francisco!
This was the second celebration with Cat's side of the family....
and they are lovely and special people from Weatherford
and Midland!
We met for dinner over at Clearfork in Fort Worth!
Great service and delicious food...yes, we will go back soon!
The grandchildren brought the special birthday cake
which was a Confetti Nothing Bundt Cake....
40 flaming candles....quick...make a wish and blow.......
This was the birthday that lasted two weeks....
it was an event to remember I think......
Oh y'all.....I have a new favorite scent from
the Bath and Body sale....
French Baguette.....divine....
notes of warm baked bread, toasted crust and warm sea salt.....
And....this one called Paris Cafe!
Notes of Rich Roasted Coffee, Sugared Brioche and Vanilla Creme
I made THE BEST grilled cheese ever....here's the recipe if you want to try it!
We also tried Mamie's Pies for the first time...
Cherry, Maine Blueberry and Apple.....oh yes....we are loving them!
I am creating, or attempting to create a new fall wreath...
the theme is Apple Picking Time.....I hope it turns out
as beautiful as I have designed it in my mind....
And, I love choosing the ribbons....always three in various
colors and patterns!
Driving home from Fort Worth Friday night....
this vintage Rolls Royce passed us....
I am not one to swoon over cars...but THIS ONE....this one...
had me at hello......
Oh wouldn’t it be great to have a ride in that beautiful vintage car?! Two week celebration? Well, forty only comes once...why not?! It’s wonderful that it could be so special. Maine blueberry pie...now that’s something to think about. Ordinarily, blueberries would be ready, but this summer everything is late. We’re still picking strawberries.
ReplyDeletegood Morning Miss Vee...just know I am saying prayers for you....I know you are going to come through all this hardship just fine....I will say Mamie's blueberry pie was so darn good...just like the ones I used to order at The Landing in Kennebunkport....I hope you have a good week! Hugs from me to you!
DeleteBetsy, Oh what a fun time you all had. Happy birthday to Nick. Oh my gosh, I have swooned over many a car. LOL... I have always love beautiful cars. Can't wait to see your new wreath. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie

Both candles were on the BBW big sale price Deanna...they are wonderful! Anything that has the aroma of freshly baked bread and hot coffee are amazing! I look forward to seeing your home all dressed in fall's finest! Hope you have a great week!
