Celebrating my birthday all week

In addition to a few who aren't pictured here, these generous, delightful women from my neighborhood treated me to a fun lunch out, six days after my birthday, making this my third daytime dining soirée of the week. The two women on each side of me are part of our cycling group, the Biker Babes, our self-titled description. Humble, aren't we?

Here are Zee and Kimberly.

Here are Kelley and Denise.

Here is Waleska and me.

Here are Donna and Kelly. You got it, one third of us that day are named Kelly or Kelley.

Here are Theresa, Sherrie, and Scott.

We went to Kobe Japanese steakhouse, which is conveniently close to our homes.

Kelly and Theresa once more.

The busy chef adding plenty of salt to our scallops, and everything else that day.

This was my third or fourth birthday dessert of the week, and candle to blow out. I'm all for keeping the celebration going as long as people are willing to continue!

I can't remember what I wished for, but I do remember liking the chocolate cake. Thanks, wonderful friends. I seriously felt loved by being surrounded by each of you that day. So far, my 47th year has been my best.
