Day 4 On my birthday, I slept in a bit. I am now 49 years ..

Day 4 On my birthday, I slept in a bit. I am now 49 years old and need a lot of beauty sleep! But my husband says it will never be enough! When I eventually got up, we had a breakfast of the previous night’s left overs. After that I got dressed for a planned birthday lunch. Even my husband dressed up in a suit and tie… Ok, my husband doesn't even own a suit and tie!! The best I could do was to get him into jeans for the occasion. The only nice place to eat was called the “Pizza Tower” a few miles away. And I like pizza, so it was going to be perfect. As we arrived at the pizza place, there were a lot of cars there already. We walked around the place and couldn’t find an open door leading to a restaurant. We eventually decided to try and open doors and maybe we’ll find the restaurant. The first door we opened was the right one…but we were greeted with tens of faces staring at us. The place was packed! Not an open seat in the house! Sheepishly we closed the door and walked away. When will we ever have an easy day??? Back in the truck, we searched franticly for some other place to go and have a birthday meal. At that stage I was even considering a McDonalds drive through! We eventually found a place a few miles away, and of we went. The drive was a scenic and beautiful drive through the mountains. We arrived at a small roadside diner that only served toasted sandwiches! No nice meal for me on my birthday!! Or so I thought. After inquiring about an restaurant, we were informed that there is a restaurant, but we can’t sit inside because they were preparing for a big group op people that will arrive later the day. After some negotiations, it was decided that we can have our meals outside. So a bottle of wine was ordered while we waited for our meals. It was quite nice sitting in the sun on a cold winter’s day, sipping a glass of wine. Eventually our meals arrived, and it was the best meal I’ve had in a very long time. It was absolutely divine. After the best birthday lunch ever, we drove back to the camp. At the camp we made a fire and sat around it nice and warm and chatted the night away. All in all a very awesome birthday after all!
