the special guest for this particular birthday dinner was my cousin lisa.
it was a milestone birthday that deserved LOTSA celebration...she turned 40! after the birthday dinner kickoff, there was a happy hour event friday night at a lounge in belltown called amber which turned out really lovely. there were lots of people from her work that came by along with my mom that came to town to surprise her!
I had a drink that is now my new favorite. it is a fancy martini called "lush" with two different kinds of flavored vodkas and raspberry and lemon sugar around the rim...yum! of course it's a drink that only is served there so I guess it will have to become my new hangout.
the birthday continued with a saturday morning breakfast at salish lodge near the snoqualmie falls. cousins and great aunts we don't see often enough also came. the food was delish.
lisa is now in portland having a short sabbatical at a resort where she loves to go. I pray her time is joyful and she returns refreshed. I hope she was happy with her birthday extravaganza...she deserves it.
happy birthday lisa beth
