Passionate about me

What are you passionate about?

I’m still celebrating my own birthday (which was last Tuesday), even though everyone else is over it.

On my actual birthday the weather was spectacular. My son met us at a new-to-me restaurant with a great waterside location. That’s obviously the parking lot side behind us in the picture, but we were looking out onto a lovely lake.
Turnpike Market in Billerica, MA has been nearby for years with this nice view and I had no idea.

The food was good too!

I like when a restaurant knows it’s my birthday, so my husband told them. They didn’t sing to me, but I did get to meet the owner and they sent out a lovely tiramisu for dessert.

On Thursday, I got to see my daughter and my granddaughter. Yay!

Loved this gift so much!
And this ❤️

“Birthday week” continued last night with the opening of the new Steven Spielberg movie Disclosure Day. I got a delicious “Passion Star Martini” and fried dumplings beforehand.

Today I’m making my husband go to a downtown Boston art museum with me.

After that, I don’t think I’ll be able to play the birthday card again until next year.

    1. The movie is good. Some very classic Spielberg moments. And Emily Blunt is absolutely luminous on the big screen. The ending is a bit of a Thinker. We enjoyed The Sheep Detectives on the big screen too.

    1. I really admire how your family goes all out for birthdays Laurie! I think of my aunt who died just short of 30 from breast cancer. Birthdays are not a given—and are so much better than the alternative. Should celebrate each one for sure.
