Indian take-out for my birthday
Tomorrow is my birthday but we celebrated it this weekend. This is my last year of the 30's!!! Next year I will belong the 40's club. {Sigh.....} (By the way, I'm going to be coming up with a list of 40 things I want to do before I turn 40 that I'll be featuring here on my blog.) When Sam asked me what I wanted for my birthday dinner, I quickly replied, "Something that I don't need to cook!" I was craving Indian food and an exotic fruit salad and he gave into my every whim. I also requested no birthday gift because I wanted money to shop the French winter sales: les SOLDES!! My birthday was just perfect: surrounded by my four favorite people, a walk in Versailles and Indian take-out in the comfort of my home!
1. An apartment building in Versailles. 2. Rue de Satory. 3. Exotic fruit salad to appease my birthday cravings. 4. Homemade earrings from my daughter Elena. 8. Elena pointing out cherries at a fruit stand in Versailles. 6. Indian take-out to appease my birthday cravings. 7. Gabriela. 8. My ice cream birthday cake. 9. Alex. 10. Sam opening up a battle of sparkly Champomy. 11. At the Délices de Agra, Indian restaurant on the rue de Satory in Versailles. 12. Smiling birthday girl. 13. Elena. 14. A walk in Versailles. 15. A flower stand on the rue de Satory. 16. Elena drooling over the pastries in Versailles.
