Diane-Fest!

This was a weekend to remember! Turning the 'next number old' has always been a bit daunting for me but not this time! For some reason I was totally excited about this birthday age and planned to do what I wanted to do most....scrapbooking with friends. In fairness, Kristin came up with this idea for her day in February and I was totally envious. When her's didn't go ahead it was fair game to become mine ;0P I have scrapbooked and made cards for about 15years, my Dad is a great scrapbooker and he is big on memorabilia in the albums too!

Jenn and Kristin joined me in our amazing room. There was enough room for about 20 people (jammed in!) but we had it all! Our men were great with the idea and brought us sustinance and fun notes in the bottom of lunch bags for our humor. The weekend was fun as we all had fun stories and complaints and nothing seemed to be off-limits. What is said in the scrapb0oking room stays in the scrapbooking room!!

Dinner on Friday night was at the Rim Rock Cafe and was so much fun. We managed to drive out the sour-puss people in the corner with our laughter (they were jealous!!!). On Saturday we were at Bearfoot Bistro, which is one of my all-time favorite restaurants. The 5 course chefs tasting menu was enjoyed by all and to my absolute delight they had my favorite sweet wine on hand for the Fois Gras course, Brandenburg No 3 by the Venturi-Schultz winery. The entire evening was AMAZING!!! The weekend was UNFORGETTABLE and I still have a smile on my face when I think of it!!
