I had a birthday. I’m now on the far side of 30 if you round up by fives which makes me practically 40 and everyone knows that means I’m almost 50 and having a midlife crisis very soon but only if I live to be 100 and if I happen to kick the bucket at age 80 then I might already be too late to have one. Crap.
I took Alex to Leavenworth, Washington for the weekend. We met my sister and her daughter up there and had an all girls weekend. We stayed in the Bridal Suite at the Enzian. The room had a jacuzzi and a mirror on the ceiling above the bed. We did all kinds of girl things the entire time and it was mui mui fun. My favorite parts: the Alpen Horn player in his lederhosen, Dave, owner of the Mozart Cafe who talked to us at length about his chef and the quality of soup and how being surprised with your meal is not a good thing, the beautiful snowy mountains, Alex, Rhoda and Elle and Rhoda’s family and Jens playing guitar. Did I mention it was beautiful? And, Alex again.
Don’t you watch Sex and the City?! 30 is the new 20, which means 40 is the new 30, 50 the new 40, and so on and so forth. See? You’re set.
I had to run straight to your ‘about’ to find out where you live! I saw Leavenworth Wa, and spit coffee all over my computer screen. I live in Washington state, and went through Leavenworth at Christmas to get to the cabin in the snow we hole up in for the holiday. I really like Leavenworth, it’s a great day trip for us.
