Now that my birthday is over!

Saw a movie and had dinner with my dearest friend. A couple of us headed to our little town to see Pride and Glory - it was an Ok story except for the F bombs. Whew I needed a shower afterwards. It had mystery and tension so I like it I just wish the actors spoke in more gentlemen like ways.

Dinner is a tradition my friend Bert and I do instead of presents. Who needs something else to dust! So we give each other dinner. I chose the restaurant - Falls Landing - and she pays the bill when it arrives. In February I will be treating her to dinner at Jordon Street Cafe. Both places are pretty pricey for this area. But the food is wonderful. Who would have thought we have such good restaurants in this little town. Seven in all (not counting the pubs and family joints). Jordon Street is the fanciest and it is a toss up between Falls Landing and Hob Nob for steaks. Docks is the seafood and the rest american. Nothing exotic but really great chefs.

Originally I was going to have Darcy's birthday on my birthday but it just did not work out that way. Well, I had my own merry time at my own dinner.

Rarely does an author give birthdays to their characters and yet we make so much of them nowadays.

Well, on to chapter 44. If I can get this chapter done then I will be enough ahead I can relax and do all these other things. So here is hoping I can be done with the chapter by Sunday.
