Good morning dear blogging friends.
I sure missed having the opportunity to write a post yesterday, but my Friday began very hot....and by hot, I mean hairdryer hot. It was Hair Day for me, which is a day that I like to consider as a Holiday (for me!) My hair girl (Melody) gives the very best shampoo massage and to me, it's like a spa day.
Then it was time to shift gears. We had a big birthday to celebrate. Our youngest daughter (Shanda) turned 48! Not sure how this happened so fast, because I'm pretty positive that I just turned 48 myself, for the 23rd time.
Potpourri Restaurant and shop
After my hair appointment, we set off to have a girls day. We shopped, we laughed, and we tried on things that we had no business trying on. Lunch was at the Potpourri House. This place is like southern charm served with a side of the best strawberry salad you've ever eaten.
The Italian Restaurant!!
By evening, the whole crew gathered for dinner at the most charming little Italian restaurant, complete with twinkly lights. This is a farm to market kind of restaurant, where they grow there own veggies and let me tell you, the food was amazing. And then...the BEST chocolate birthday cake (ever) made it's entrance and let me just say....it did not last long. I'm not naming any names, but a few of them may have had a second piece of this delicious cake.
Happy Birthday, sweet Shan....you shine brighter every year!
Oh....and as a bonus, while we were shopping, I ran into a blogging friend from years ago. Vicki no longer blogs, but she is a fabulous artist and I keep up with her on facebook.
Happy Saturday y'all....

Happy Birthday to Shanda! I'm not sure how our kids get older, goes so fast!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great day, but I did miss you yesterday.
PS - I took your advice and picked up a few flags to add to our planter out front. It looks so cute!
I missed you yesterday but it sounds like a wonderful day with your girls. My middle son is 44 and he’s got a beard and gray hair! He looks like an old gold miner! All he needs is a mule! But through all his gray and wrinkles, I can still see that little boy inside. Mothers have that special gift!
ReplyDeleteThat cake would have been hard for me to pass up! Seconds please!
What a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteAwww...a belated Happy Birthday to your beautiful Shanda. It sounds like you girls had a very special day together and then to have the family together at the Italian Restaurant for dinner must have made your heart very full. That chocolate cake looks gorgeous, by the way. :) xx
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Shanda! You guys have the best times and pasties together. Like all the bright and colorful things on your post. You are all so blessed to have one another.
ReplyDeleteShug in that heat my hair would probably curl! My son will be 50 in August. That can't be possible either. That cake looked delish!
Happy Birthday blessings to your Shanda! Wow, that chocolate cake looks positively sinful (like my momma used to say). I love those ceiling tiles in that restaurant y'all chose!
ReplyDeleteIt's been years since someone else washed my hair and massaged my scalp; doing it myself doesn't feel nearly as good.
Happy Birthday, Shanda! I'm glad you all had a marvelous time.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your daughter. Amazing she is the same age as you, I have the same situation with my sons. LOL. You had some great celebrations and fun with your girls.
ReplyDeleteThe Italian place looks wonderful! Even the ceiling is special. You have raised such beautiful and smart girls!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Shanda! It sounds like a great day was had by all. And yes, a shampoo massage is the best :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely Birthday Celebration! What a lovely and beautiful family you have. I like the name Shanda....almost like Wanda...haha. What fun, all the activities and love just comes pouring through the screen of my computer. Blessings and love from my blog to yours.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Shanda...oh to be 48 again!! Looks like a fun day filled with blessings!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Shanda. I know what you mean about the age. My daughter will be 42 in a couple days and I'm still trying to figure out how that happened.
ReplyDeleteYou had a fun filled Friday. That chocolate cake does look delicious.
Happy Birthday Shanda. Best wishes to you all and may God bless always.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Shanda, and everyone looks so happy and the food is marvelous! you have a beautiful family. still giggling at your 'clue' you might be a senior, the words Camera Roll. ha ha..
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Birthday wishes to your daughter! My Son is the same age! Where did the time go??
ReplyDeleteFun girl time and smiles all around. Happy Birthday to Shanda! The Italian food sounds like the perfect place to celebrate, and that chocolate cake! Love the pic with Sam and the girls too; such a dear photo to cherish always. It's hard to believe that our daughters are in their 40's! ; )
