December 9th is Carol’s birthday. We have celebrated her birthday together for
the last 12 years. We have maybe met one
time earlier this year, other than that we have not had much time
together. She got a boyfriend last year
and has spent a lot of time with him.
They like to go dancing several nights a week.
We have gone to El Questzal on Beacon Hill in Seattle for several
years. We went again tonight and the
food was delicious as usual. Carol had
flank steak and I had a sort of beef & hominy soup. I got a skirt steak to go for Lea.
We had a wonderful conversation and I gave her a cute birthday with a
butler on the front holding a large silver serving dish. She pulled the butler’s elbow and the card
showed “Happy Birthday”. It was cute.
Our waiter brought us dessert to split with a candle in it. It was a chocolate cake with whipped cream
and raspberry sauce. He got the other
diners to join us singing happy birthday
to Carol. It was cute and delicious.
I am grateful for my friendship with Carol and the rituals we have such
as El Quetzal for birthdays and holiday meals together.
