"Happy Birthday" to my Darling Beach Boy ♥ by Weezilou

"Happy Birthday" to my Darling Beach Boy ♥

Two months ago we'd made plans with friends to meet for brunch, and let me tell you, I was ready to get out of the house! I'd been getting in and out of the car to go to doctor appts, so why not try something more fun! Duke's is an always-favorite restaurant, and we love the duo who sing on Sunday mornings. Our favorite dancer was with them, and I'm only sorry she wasn't in this photo, too; she's exquisite and dances hula like a gentle breeze! Our friends mentioned it was Ken's birthday (June 1st) & (on top of their amazing brunch), our waiter appeared with an immense wedge of Duke's fabulous Hula Pie (macadamia-nut ice cream on a chocolate cookie crust topped with fudge and whipped cream!) (Can you say, "Gilding the Lily"?!) But Ken said ice cream is his favorite, and he ate a great deal of that and not the chocolate-covered strawberries, brownies, macadamia-nut cookies, and oh-so-decadent chocolate eclairs! to mention a few of the desserts!

In learning to savor the moments, this trip-since-the-trip was as good as it gets!

"Happy Birthday, Darlin' ♥"
