We had dinner last night with our son Court and his family at a restaurant in the Highlands Ranch town center not far from our apartment. It is one of our favorite restaurants, and we had just as much fun as we could possibly have. In addition to just seeing each other after our return to Denver, we also gathered to celebrate Alyx’s birthday.

Bill knows how to celebrate birthdays. That is the reason that he ordered three — count ’em — three desserts. Each of the grands also ordered something, so there were plenty of sweets to go around — everything from bread pudding to bundt cakes.

Is this a Lenten sacrifice? Well, we didn’t eat meat….

Have a great weekend.
