I had a terrific "champagne birthday" yesterday. Jean, Holly and I went for a nice walk, which started and ended at Coles Bay in West Saanich. The rain even held off so we got to enjoy our picnic outdoors instead of in the car! In the afternoon, Jean took me shopping along Oak Bay Ave and bought me a couple of shirts to go along with my other presents, which included this extension to our favourite game (yes, I was feeling spoiled!).
We had also commissioned Anita Doornekamp, Mom's talented colleague, to draw us this artichoke. She finished it in time for my birthday and we're thrilled with it; it adds so nicely to our growing collection.

In the late afternoon, we dropped by Mom and Dad's as Dad is in town for the weekend. Then we went for dinner at Stage, a stylish and delicious tapas-style restaurant on Gladstone that was very reminiscent of Jamie Kennedy's wine bar. Definitely one of the best birthdays yet!
