Today is Birthday Eve!

My first birthday,1963


Today is my birthday eve, Tomorrow will be a fun filled day with my family,and my annual birthday dinner at Chez Panisse
It is an amazing place,and has never failed to deliver a wonderful evening. I'll snap a few pictures tomorrow night to share with you all. Since it is closed on Sundays, next year I will have to find elsewhere to go, it just won't be the same:( So many wonderful chefs that have worked under Alice Waters have opened their own restaurants, so perhaps I will choose one of theirs.
I love the picture above, since it shows how talented my mom was with the little money they had when I was born. She made the cake and my dress! I wish she had kept that dress,but sadly it only exists through photos.
I hope everyone has a very fine weekend.
