Birthday celebration

Threesome at Scotty Brown's

 These two lovely ladies treated me to a wonderful lunch at one of my favorite places to eat in Bellingham, Scotty Brown's. They said I could pick the place and do exactly what I wanted, before and after, and I chose this place because I know it so well. (It's where Lily and I usually end up when we eat out.) I enjoyed the Cowboy Salad and they had (Frankie) veggie burgers and (Michelle) fish tacos. I'm not someone who eats out often, but it seems like I've been doing a lot of it during Thanksgiving and the holidays, and we're just now getting started, with the entire month of December, probably mostly a celebration of food. On Saturday I enjoyed Korean food with my friend Steve, then Sunday and Monday were breakfast and lunch with my friend John. Today was the delightful meal with Frankie and Michelle. I certainly am not feeling hungry right now!

To top off the wonderful meal at Scotty's, we shared a dessert three ways, a super delicious chocolate and coffee ice cream delight. It was so big I wondered how in the world one person could eat so much, and the waitperson said it was a teeny big larger just for us. We were all groaning from the treat, and all of us figured we might have already consumed our day's calories. And then some, I suspect. Good thing this only comes around once a year, right?

Thank you, ladies!

Oh wait.... they have birthdays, too. Hopefully I'll be ready for the next one; Michelle's is at the end of the month. I'll take a deep breath and gird my loins...
