The Best Birthday Party Ever

I can’t help myself. I have to blog about the terrific birthday party that was planned for me by my son, Aric. He chose a restaurant that I have wanted to try for years—Cleveland’s very own Iron Chef Michael Symon’s, Tremont restaurant, Lolita.

Ten of us gathered Friday evening for a most excellent meal. When we arrived, chilling on the tables were two bottles of white wine, compliments of my manager at Chico’s, Tab. I was overwhelmed by her thoughtfulness—I work with the best gals ever!

After dinner there was a flurry of gifts. Chardonnay, gift cards to my favorite spa and, what every genealogist loves to read, a book on local cemeteries!

It has been some time since I have had an actual birthday party. This was so special because it was planned by my son and included family and friends. It was a perfect evening.
