The Big 50!

Both Mike and I started surprising one another a few months before our birthdays. Little presents, special dinners and getaway weekends. Mike's 50th hit well before mine! He turned 50 in October 2005! The weekend after his birthday, the Lindsay crew came up to surprise him - a great family weekend! In September 2006, the big one hit me too! Of course, our trip to Europe in the spring was our joint celebration but a few months before my 50th, we had a wonderful evening out at restaurant Eighteen in the market with our good friends Joanne and Rick. Our 6 course meal was accompanied by delectable wines, carefully selected to accompany the special dishes the chef prepared for us ... can you see it in the pictures!! I felt like royalty - a limo picked us up at home and returned us safe and sound after a memorable evening. Did we feel like 50 the next morning ... yep!
