Happy Birthday Libby!

Jeff’s mom celebrated her birthday last Tuesday.  Unfortunately I was wandering around Chicago that day and did not have time for a shout out. 

To celebrate her birthday in style, Jeff and I went up to the mountains for a visit this last weekend.  As soon as we started to go up the mountain, we got stuck behind a fire truck responding to a call.  Eventually it pulled over to allow traffic to pass but we never say anything that would require a fire truck.  Weird.

It was a beautiful view for the rest of drive up.

When we got there Libby showed us how she feeds her blue jays.  She lines up peanuts on her balcony rail and they come swooping in to get them.

After marveling at the nature in her backyard, we headed to Arrowhead for some lunch.  The restaurant was right on the waterfront and had wonderful weather.

We ended up eating at Woody’s and had a table with a view.

Jeff ordered the club sandwich with their specialty onion rings.

I got the shrimp po’boy which was delish!

We walked around for a bit and bought some treats for Chloe.

After relaxing at Libby’s house we headed down the mountain.
