My mom turned 50 this year. Unfortunately, with everything that was happening (my graduation and my wedding) we were not able to throw her the party she had always wanted. Fortunately my mother is flexible. She decided that she will not turn 50 this year but 49 again. She thinks, there is no need to rush her age...especially if she can't have a party to celebrate her half-a-decade of being a strong and beautiful woman. I agree with her, no rush! Next year will be her year to celebrate it big and we will make sure that gets done. If it is not a party then maybe we can send her on a trip...maybe Italy? That wouldn't be too shabby. She deserves the best because she is wonderful. Thanks to her my siblings and I have had such a wonderful life. And no she is not a professional, so she has had to work hard so that her kids could have a good life. I am thankful that I am her daughter and that she is my mom...
To celebrate her birthday we took her on a trip to Napa and Sonoma where we had a wonderful picnic in VSattui. We drank so much wine and ate the best cheeses, bread, prosciutto, salami, and chocolate. We even had a salsa performance by the one and only Vicky and Carlos Team. It was a fun day full of laughter. We had planned to hit a couple of wineries for more wine tasting but our picnic was so much fun that we couldn't leave. Later that night we had dinner at my favorite restaurant in Sonoma, The Girl and the Fig. We had more wine, cheese, and some delicious meals. Honestly it was an amazing day!
