Almost a week late, but B got his birthday dinner yesterday.
He chose an Italian restaurant, Il Porcolino, in the Loop from a google search. B and I had the chicken parmesan, Andy had spaghetti and meatballs and Cindy had the chicken and penne. It was all very good.
The waitress asked us if we were celebrating anything and I blurted out "B's birthday" before I realized he wouldn't want a bunch of singing and dramatics. The waitress said not to worry and after dinner, brought him ice cream with a candle. We all shared it and it was tasty - chocolate and cherries.

It was a beautiful night so I suggested we walk and show Cindy the Riverwalk. That's a huge flag hanging on the Wrigley Building.
Eventually we stopped for a beer while Cindy got an iced latte. Andy pointing out nearby buildings for Cindy.

I think a lot of people will be enjoying this fountain later this week.
At church that morning, we celebrated the 100th birthday of one of our members with a fellowship hour luncheon on the front lawn.
I brought a tray of ham and turkey sandwiches on Hawaiian rolls. We had quite the soread and celebration - and the weather was perfect. Supposed to get close to 100 this week so we're bracing ourselves.
