Birthday Bonanza

Today, February 11th, marks the birthday of two of my most favorite people. Laura Jane, my read headed sister, turned 23 today, while Kris, who is unfortunately suffering from a wicked winter cold, celebrated his 28th birthday. Laura and I toasted her birthday Monday evening over a pasta bake and peach cobbler at her request. She is now out with friends at the Nitty Gritty; hopefully, she is enjoying her fair share of free beer in the Gritty Mug. You really have to love the great tradition of the Nitty Gritty—a keepsake mug, free drinks, and an ice cream sundae. Doesn’t get much better than that! Unfortunately, the working world and my 6:00 am wake up call kept me from joining the young-ins at the bar. Luckily for me, the party girl will also be going out tomorrow. I am crossing my fingers that we start the party at Slices with stale beer and greasy fried food.

Kris and I went to the fabulous Johnny Delmonico’s steak house in honor of his special day. As usual the meal there was fantastic, we each got steak, potatoes, and a salad. The all-American meal! Needless to say I am still pretty stuffed. While each of them celebrated their birthdays in different ways, my wish for each of them is the same, “I hope you had a fantastic day and may this year be great.”

Happy Birthday to my February 11s,

The Bean Spiller

  2. jeannie thanks for dedicating a post to me and the wonderful day of mom bringing you me! the gritty was a lot of fun. i have come to the conclusion that one is never too old to not take advantage of getting free beer on their birthday. so come november 21st no matter what day it falls on we are going!
