What Happens Matters: Birthday Breakfast

Today was the birthday of my good friend, S.

A bunch of us decided to take her out to breakfast. Since there were 8 of us, plus S's youngest, I would qualify that as a bunch.

When I walked in the back door of the restaurant immediately I heard laughter. Yup, that's my bunch!

Just about all of us that go to R's house for 1st Friday were there and we were lucky enough to have another friend, C join us.

I have a lot of C's in my life for friends. I haven't figured out how to differentiate all the C's in my life here on my blog. Something to ponder.

Now back in December, it was C's, of the 5 pump Chai, birthday. And breakfast plans were made.

And then I went to Florida with Hubby and the girls for a few days. Breakfast was planned for the day after we got home.

Guess what?

I completely forgot about our breakfast plans for C. I only remembered after I was already in the midst of running Christmas errands and S called to leave me a message to see if I was coming to breakfast.

Ack! I felt terrible. To make me feel a bit better, my friend J also forgot.

Now, I've seen C many times since the missed breakfast. And she is a sweetheart and doesn't appear to hold my memory loss against me.

In going to breakfast today I decided to bring C a little something and J & I got her a belated birthday card from the both of us. Her reaction was priceless when she saw that we brought her something.

I swear C, next December there is NO WAY I am forgetting your birthday.

We had a great breakfast. Lots of laughter, lots of talking, and plenty of coffee.

Here are my weekly finds from Pinterest:

Here is a recipe for Lemon Ice Box Pie. I love lemon.

This pudding dessert looks fabulous. It's official name is Sex in a Pan. Huh.

Here is a tutorial for flattened wine bottles. I am very intrigued by this and think I would like to try it.

These Easter Eggs are made by using crayons on hot hard boiled eggs. This looks like great fun.

Yup, I am definitely in garden mode. This method for growing cilantro looks easy. I love that you can do it in a container. And it means yummy guacamole all spring/summer/fall.
