| Happy birthday breakfast |
This morning I went on a walk with my friend Lily instead of joining the ladies. Lily has been sick and missed three days of work, just before her birthday. She had hoped to take Thursday off to enjoy a laid-back birthday, but since she's missed so much work she cannot. Therefore, she and I took an easier walk along Boulevard Park from downtown to Fairhaven's
Colophon Cafe, where I treated her to a portabella "muff-egg" breakfast sandwich. I had the same, and it was quite lovely. This cafe is two-and-a-half miles away, so once we finished our breakfast, we walked back the way we had come and logged a nice five-mile stroll.
For the record, my friend Ronni Bennett at
Time Goes By is now back home after that awful surgery for pancreatic cancer. I consider it to be quite a feat to be well enough to get home in just over a week. She's still got a long recovery, but I am hoping that the news will be good from her surgical team, and that I'll be able to rejoice with her this time next year. Anyhow, whatever the future brings, she's got an incredible posse of well-wishers at her back, of which I am one.
:-)
Well I hope Ronni has a full recovery and the surgery was successful too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat to have a friend with you at breakfast. And a perfect morning walk to boot!!

Good friends! Good eats! Great walk!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Lily. I hope you are fully recovered.
ReplyDeleteAnd hope that Ronni's healing continues apace.
Muff-egg sounds interesting. I hope Lily and Ronni each feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a a good friend to your friends. It does sound like a lovely morning.
ReplyDeleteYou are a good friend- I hope Lily has recovered from her illness and happy birthday to her. Sending well wishes and a prayer for Ronni- cancer sucks.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Lily!
ReplyDeleteYou're looking good DJan, and so is Lily! I could actually eat that breakfast (no eggs for me...). Happy 4th.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Lily. That sounds like a really neat way to celebrate. Also a 5 mile walk is more like it and the portabella sandwich sounds perfect. Hope you are completely recovered. Cute picture of the two of you.
ReplyDeleteThat was nice of you to treat Lily to a birthday breakfast and chat. Hoping, too, that Ronni recovers well from her surgery. Take care, DJan.
ReplyDeletemore proof of what an amazing woman you are...
ReplyDeleteDear DJan, thanks for keeping us updated on Ronni. Having a meal with a friend and taking a walk sounds like a recipe for happiness. Peace be to you.

ReplyDeleteSounds like you two had a great time. What a great way to enjoy a birthday breakfast. And what a great way to get your walk in. I will think positive thoughts for Ronni.
