Birthday Fun 🥳

Because strawberry picking on Wednesday looked like it was going to be slim picking, we went to Old Ellicott City for the afternoon instead. My favourite go to place! And I was "allowed" to shop in any, and all, of the stores I wanted to with no complaining. At least none that I heard?!
Walking around town, who knew an eggplant was art?


But it did make for a fun photo!


Well who wouldn't want a Ranch Dressing, Buffalo Wing, Bacon, Peanut Butter & Jelly, Maple Syrup, Mustard, Enchilada, Sweet Corn, Coffee, or Cucumber Soda?! 😨
But the different flavoured popcorn was good!


I found this tin the antique shop, in excellent condition and it was calling for me to take it home.


I also found this treasure, a mini sewing box. Did I read that correctly, it was only $7??? 


Too cute, look at how small it is.


I chose to have dinner at The Mint, our local Indian restaurant.


Memories of my surprise party there for my 50th.


Gman1 and his gf C, made me a creamsicle cake that I requested.


It was delicious! And goes well with the flowers from Cori.


It was a great day, even beautiful weather that was sunny and cool with no humidity... ahh!

Sounds like you had an absolutely perfect birthday even though you had to replace strawberries with an artificial (albeit spectacular!) eggplant.

Happy Birthday! It looks like you had a fun time with your family. BTW, I didn't realize Nathan was as tall as the G-Men.

So glad that you enjoyed your Birthday. That giant aubergine will come in very useful for future photo prompts!
The cake looks delicious too.
