Today is my Birthday
Today is my 50th Birthday.
Chris took the day off from work and we went to Hudson for the day. I brought my camera along so I can show you some pictures from our day. By the way, Chris turns 53 on Thursday.
We had lunch at a restaurant in Hudson called the Vue. I chose Frutti de Mare which means Fruit of the Sea. This dish consisted of one huge scampi, lots of tiny shrimp and several mussels over a bed of black squid-ink pasta. Here is a picture of the restaurant.

Then it was off to the yarn shop. (Yes Margaret, this is your influence.) I bought Yarn and a pattern for a simple purse. This shop was called Miss Chickpea’s Funky Fibers. Isn’t that a great name?
We also vistited Heather’s heat and flavor. It is a gourmet hot sauce and spice shop. We bought alot of goodies there including Red Raspberry Wasabi Mustard and Roasted Raspberry Chipolte Sauce. You can check them out HERE.
We also checked out the Wild Bird Center of Hudson and I tried to buy a bird feeder made of a piece of wood with holes drilled in it for suet. Chris convinced me not to buy it and promised to make one for me.
It was a nice way to spend my Birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!

Happy 50th birthday!!!! That sounds like a wonderful day. I love going to neat little shops like that. I’ve seen those log suet woodpecker feeders and we thought the same thing…. that we would try to make them ourselves.
Here’s to another 50!!!

Happy Birthday yesterday! What a beautiful post. (Didn’t Grandma always say that she felt like she was 17 always?)
Love,Beth

I never knew she thought that but I can totally understand. I don’t feel 50 at all. I feel as if my twenties were just yesterday. Wasn’t it just yesterday that you were my two year old niece with rosy cheeks that I used to play with?
