Sue's Day

The birthday came and went. You may recall that there was an early gift of a pretty upscale iPhone, but there had to be something else for Sue on her special day. There is always the gift of a card, and you saw that yesterday, but some other little thing was required.

So . . . come mid-morning, I went out to pick up a little bouquet of three white and three red roses that I ordered last week. I could have had them delivered, but I knew that we'd be going out at some point, so I decided to pick them up to avoid a delivery conflict. Sue took various photos; I chose these two. I would show the whole bouquet, but that download is choosing to give me grief.




Then, it was off to Ottawa for lunch at Swiss Chalet, where the nice server provided a piece of lemon pie after our rotisserie chicken lunch.


Shauna and Dani dropped over after work and school respectively just to say hello. I think we'll see them again on the weekend along with Jonathan who was working today. We had buns and cold cuts available so that they wouldn't have to go home and still fuss with dinner. Poor Lacey was not included.


Of course, there were gifts, which hardly excited Sue at all, as you can plainly see.

  13. Very nice! Poor Lacey, though…. she wanted some lunch meat! 😂

    Maybe give her some catnip as a consolation prize.

  14. I love the red rose petal shot. And the candid of Sue with the pie is a great photo of her. Mind you, she always seems to show well, but that one is especially good. Or, maybe it is me as lemon pie is my all time favourite dessert.
    Happy birthday, Sue!!!!
