Happy 85th Mom
It was one of those years where the birthday plans just kept getting changed due to outside influences. In the end mom had a quiet but we hope enjoyable birthday celebration. Ed, Zaph and I drove down to Burlington arriving just after lunch. As it was an amazing warm fall day, my mom, brother and the three of us drove downtown to the waterfront park. There, we walked for a couple of hours enjoying the wonderful day and the beautiful scenery. Zaph was a little disappointed as swimming wasn't on the agenda.
That evening we went out for dinner to a Greek restaurant that mom had heard was good and good it was. The restaurant is a large open area with about 1/4 of it down a half a floor. Tonight this separate area held a large group (at least 50 people) that were celebrating a gentleman's 90th birthday. We were seated at a table that overlooked the area which was nice as we got to enjoy their entertainment, 2 fellows playing Greek music and a belly dancer. The belly dancer even got the birthday boy to try belly dancing. Our waiter was very good and the food was amazing .... definitely a place I would return to. Mom's lamb chops were so good she ate them and left of the rest of her dinner (she took it home). Ed had mentioned to the waiter that it was mom's birthday so they brought a piece of cake with a candle on it and sang happy birthday to her.
