Celebrating Diane’s Fiftieth Birthday

Saturday Evening, April 2

DSC_9529Checking out the menu at General Sutter Inn in Lititz for Diane’s January 1st birthday. Deb looks like she is checking out the ceiling. 🙂

DSC_9530It took awhile for us to find a date that suited everyone – when Diane was visiting from Maine – so we were three months late.

DSC_9532We had so much fun and found a new favorite restaurant.

DSC_9533Love this picture of Diane.

Fifty years have matured her into a kind daughter, loving wife, wise mother, sweet friend, and a wonderful grandma.

DSC_9536We had reservations for an early supper (4 PM) because of evening activities, so there weren’t may people in the restaurant.

DSC_9538It is a beautiful, relaxing dining room.

DSC_9540Our family likes to order a few appetizers and share them with each other while waiting for our entrees. This was Chris’ Beet Root Trio. I liked the orange beets.

We had a delightful time visiting, laughing, and eating.

I love being with our family and missed Mark – who had not come to Pennsylvania on this trip.
