Robert turned 30 in May! I wanted to make it a special birthday, but he refused to have a party (even a surprise one was out of the question). After many months of planning I decided to have something for him to represent each year of his life, from 0 to 30. The big present was a trip to The Herbfarm a few weeks after his actual birthday.
The family all pitched in and it was a great success. Here are some of the highlights:
Robert became a big brother when he was one. So his “baby” brother sent a “first birthday” card.
Robert was four when his “baby” sister was born. She sent a gift card to Molly Moon’s for $19.87.
At 14 he started his first job. I couldn’t resist the red stapler!
Our friends, Char and Brian, hosted us for dinner.
And for 30 he got the Herbfarm cookbook to represent our upcoming trip to Herbfarm (which was fabulous by the way!)
Cheers,
K
I love that red stapler! My office mate has one and I’ve gotten the bug to go and find one! And the Herb Farm? What a great birthday for Robert :-).
Great first post, Kelly! I loved seeing the pics to accompany the stories from Robert’s 30th that I have heard in fits and spurts in recent weeks. I look forward to more tales from your kitchen, front “yard,” and the playland of mountains beyond our fair city.
