Happy Birthday to...well, me!

Since we will be back east in Massachusetts during my actual birthday on November 20th, my two sets of folks treated little ole' me to back-to-back dinners out on the town!

First, on Saturday, Danielle, Vienne and I ate "endless shrimp" with Grammy Susan and Granddad Jim, at the Salem Red Lobster. It was a delicious precursor to the Oregon School for the Deaf's haunted house, which we went to following dinner and dropping off Vienne at Grammy Chris and Cindy's for a little grandma time. The haunted house was cool, well worth the $10 admission, but still, it left something to be desired. I guess for me, it boiled down to that I was expecting more intensity and scares since the Extreme Makeover show revamped it for their television show, seen here.

On Sunday night, Grammy Chris and Cindy and Auntie Awa took us out to dinner at Lovely's 50/50 on Mississippi Street. Without question, this was one of the best meals I've ever had in my entire life! I started off with a mixed greens salad with roasted hazelnuts, apples and Gorgonzola cheese on it! Then Danielle and I shared a 12" pizza consisting of squash, house made sausage with a sage and brown butter sauce. Finally, for dessert, I had two half scoops of homemade ice cream - mint and malted milk ball - on a homemade waffle cone. OMG, to die for.

Anyhow, my sincerest thanks to my entire family for your love and generosity!!
