A Strawberry Shortcake Kind of Birthday

On a Saturday morning, Steve, Helen, Angus, Harley, and Willy went to the Pearl Farmer's Market. It was a beautiful day. After lots of walking, many admiring looks, and lots of petting, Willy is worn out. He climbed onto Angus's bed and zonked out before we left the parking lot. Angus is slightly miffed that such a little man takes up half his bed. Harley is on the floor checking things out.

Several days later, Mary Jane and I took Sage to the Gristmill Restaurant in Gruene for a birthday lunch. It was a nice day so we ate out on the patio. We stopped at HEB on our way to get a very, very small birthday cake as a surprise.......

But the Gristmill treated Sage to a huge strawberry shortcake with ice cream when they found out it was her big day (well, a couple of days late but).

So we put the candle in the strawberry and sent the chocolate cake home with her for later.

After walking around a bit after lunch, we stopped at our favorite coffee shop, the Gruene Coffee Haus. I think Sage enjoyed the day and so did we. Always fun to get together with friends.
