Friendship. A Photo Essay of a Sweet Birthday Celebration.
My birthday is a little less than two days away, but yesterday and part of today I spent it with my birthday buddy extraordinaire/best friend, Victoria. We always have a delightful time together, but something about this one was just extra special. Truly a lovely time that I captured in photos.
Tiara’s and a wee bit of wine to start off our celebration.
That little sip of wine was making us goofy! Or maybe it was the tiara’s!
Dinner at The Blind Horse restaurant. Marvelous!
Back to Victoria’s for sea salt caramel ice cream and sleepy time tea…. and to open presents!!
My gifts FROM Victoria.
My gifts TO Victoria.
Princess Gidget enjoyed the festivities with us.
Flowers, sea shells and a candle graced the night stand next to my bed in the guest bedroom.
We walked downtown to a small coffee shop for breakfast and to shop the sidewalk sales. On our way home we happened upon two little girls selling lemonade and gingerbread cookies.
After the car was packed and Gidget tucked into her car seat, Victoria picked some flowers from her garden for me to take home.
Having Victoria as my birthday buddy to celebrate each passing year is such a gift. My heart overflows with love and friendship today for all that she means to me.
What Do Flamingo’s and Dachshund’s Have in Common?
I haven’t a clue!
But I was just thinking about my 50th birthday this time (almost) last year and how I bought these fun glasses, plus some others when I had my birthday buddy sleepover at my best friend, Victoria’s house. My friend Cassy joined us for the fun and she wore pineapple glasses and Victoria word margarita glasses.
Tomorrow night Gidgie and I will be spending the night at Victoria’s to once again celebrate that we were born on the same day, though a few years apart (I won’t say who is older, but it isn’t me). I fondly call her Sistah V and I am Sistah B. So I guess that makes Gidgie, Sistah G!
