The Party is Over

Our birthday week is over, my daughter has returned to her home and I have returned to my routine.  Now the week is but a memory ...  What a week we had.  We rose late, ate, shopped, planned what we were going to eat next and shopped some more.   And through it all there was much laughter, birthday toasts and deep discussions.

My daughter found the recipes for some high end tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches in the October 2012 Bon Appetit magazine.  We made both and it was one of our best meals of the week.

We have decided to make the birthday week a new annual tradition.  My youngest daughter was born in April, she always complained when she was growing up that her birthday was last.  Well, I won't leave her out and will plan the same mom and daughter time to celebrate her birthday week.

I am so lucky.
