Fifty Years!

Not me :)

Michael will celebrate his 50th birthday on Sunday August 7th.  Part of our celebration is Family Beach Day on Thursday August 4th at our beach club.   It has become an annual tradition with our oldest friends and we all look forward to it.  This year we will have a shared cake for Michael's 50th, Glenn's 50th, Joe's 49th and Jesse's 19th!  The weather does not look particularly fabulous, but rain is NOT in the forecast so that's a huge plus.  We share drinks, laughs, dinner from Mother Kelly's and a special day with great friends.

In addition, Saturday night we are going to Barosa to celebrate with Jill and Lenny and Joe and Denise.  I am making Tiramisu to bring along for a special treat!

We couldn't seem to get our act together to have one big party with all of our friends together.  Maybe, when our terrace is finally back to us, we will have a Polikoff Margarita party, like we used to do.

I made Jill's Grandma's Wedding Soup today.  Maybe a bit too wintery for some, but I love it and would eat it every day if I had a pot of it (and now I do).  Teriyaki steak and broccoli for dinner tonight.  Past dinners have been:  Chicken francese, roasted lemon chicken and take out from Dani's.

Happy Birthday Michael!
