Pasadena birthday Weekend
Mulberry Tree by Vincent Van Gogh.Husb and I spent a wonderful weekend in Pasadena. We visited the Pacific Asia Museum, the Pasadena California Museum of Art, and spent a glorious 5 hours in the fabulous Norton Simon Museum which is a most spectacular place. Van Gogh, Monet, Degas and soooo many more. What a gift! We also had dinner at Il Fornaio in Old Town Pasadena, to celebrate my birthday, but husb didn't tell the waitperson...but I knew it was my birthday and we had a lovely time!
So, last year I hoped for 57 birthday comments on my blog, and I got nearly 40...This year I'm 58. Please do comment...it means a lot to me...I'd love to reach my goal of 58 comments...
