And since we're ALWAYS looking for a reason to celebrate, our coffee group Linda, Brenda, and I joined her for a lunch date...

...at The Olde Richmond Inn.  

Yummy food and plenty of coffee, topped off with creme brulee for dessert...a perfect birthday lunch!

Afterwards we checked out a charming little boutique. 

Personally, I'd rather shop at Gigglebox Sweets but, alas, they were not open.  Which was probably a good thing since we weren't even hungry.

A perfect October afternoon spent with our beautiful friend Peggy.  She's special every day, but only once a year does she get to wear the birthday tiara and be...

...queen for the day.
