Yesterday we drove south, past Bellingham, to a have dinner at the Chuckanut Manor Seafood Bar and Grill.The old manor is situated along the scenic Chuckanut Drive, overlooking the Samish Bay and the San Juan Islands.
It was a welcome sight with its ocean view table settings . . .
and wonderful friends waiting. The reason for this 'out of the ordinary' Sunday afternoon destination...
Ellen's 60th Birthday!
The food was amazing! I'll let everyone else tell what they had . . .
. . . and this creme brulee topped off the meal perfectly.
During our dinner, amidst the laughter and the chatter, the train went by our window several times . . .
Ellen blew out one single candle on her berry crisp. Ellen, It was a special afternoon spent around the table with you. I have been blessed to get to know you this past year. Your faith and joy continually inspire me. Wishing you God's blessings for your Birthday today and always.
