We went out for tea or dinner which ever you call it to a German cafe for my birthday dinner, it's not my birthday for 6 weeks but the son and daughter in law will be in QLD so we had an outing to celebrate while they were here .
This is what we ate, the food was very nice but I wouldn't go there in summer. The food is too heavy for hot weather, last night there was a bit of chill still in the air so it went down well.
Here they are, looking sweet
Of course they couldn't keep it up for long we must pull faces when mum takes photos
The beer fairy has had a large beer notice the red and rosy face
I look a bit rosy too, it was a very popular place to eat lots of people, three very crazy guys playing musical things stamping the floor and singing,it was all great fun and very noisy.
Leeroy was up here last night waiting for us to come home and again this morning.
That sounds and looks like a most excellent evening. I do hope you are going to go out on your birthday as well. Twist the arm of the beer fairly...
ReplyDeleteWith a bit of luck I might get to go again.

The food does look quite heavy, it would keep you warm half the night. I hope they have a lighter menu for the summer months.
ReplyDeleteDon't think so, think it's the same all year round.
DeleteMerle.............
Lovely family scene and wow, the food does look heavy. Hmmm, I suddenly feel like sauerkraut.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty good stuff.
DeleteMerle........ ............. .............
It looks like you had a wonderful outing,a dn the food looks yummy. Don't all kids pull faces when you pick up a camera, no matter how old they are? Mine do!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad i'm not the only one.
DeleteMerle.......... .................. ..............
what a wonderful meal out, looks yummy! I think Leroy has the best perch in the house,
ReplyDeleteI don't have a doggy door but that is our catty window.

HI Merle, it was nice you had an early birthday celebration with your family. The dinner looks yummy. My son will make faces or try to hide when I point the camera at him. Love the kitty in the window shot. Happy weekend to you!
ReplyDeleteHow old is your son mine is 41 I'm still waiting for him to grow up.
DeleteMerle.......... ............. ............

A Cardinals fan? Right here in Ohio? Good for him.
ReplyDeleteHe is not really a Cardinals fan, he goes for the Giants but he likes the Cardinals.

ReplyDeleteelongated birthdays are the best! Got to admit that food would be a bit beyond me - on size never mind meat content - but I can fully understand your enjoying it and you look truly happy. Here's to a great six weeks..&*> YAM xx
We did get doggie bags and shredded the meat and reheated the cabbage and had them with noodles the next night, it was not bad. In these places they do give you to much food.

This place would be right up my husband's alley! When we were in Las Vegas, we went to a German style beer garden...he got a large plastic boot filled with beer and the rest of the night was just a blur for him!
ReplyDeleteYay to stretched out birthdays!
I think it was a bit of a blur to the beer fairy too.
DeleteMerle......... ............ ..............
That looked like a lot of fun - I would have loved to be there to celebrate with you.
ReplyDeleteIf you are ever in Australia you are welcome to join us.
DeleteMerle........ ............ ...........
What fun that your kids were in town to help you celebrate an early birthday. That way you can have the birthday celebration all year. The 12 months of birthday. When you have cats, you always have someone waiting for you to come home. Ha
ReplyDeleteThey are very friendly if I have forgotten to feed them but most of the time they are glad to see us.
ReplyDeleteMerle...... ............ .............
Sounds as if you will have again a chance to celebrate your birthday Merle, I hope so for you! Thanks for sharing these happy times with us!
ReplyDeleteI'm going backwards now so this year I will take two years off, so I'm going to enjoy them.
DeleteMerle.......... ............. .............
Hello, and thank you for visiting us and following Red Rose Alley. A German café - sounds interesting. Happy Birthday to you. While I was scrolling down, I noticed the fairies and smiled, as I LOVE FAIRIES!
ReplyDeleteI hope you visit us again soon. It's nice to meet new friends.

I have a few fairies living in the garden but the one on the side is a painting that was on the bottom of my daughters bed when she was a little girl.

Crikey ... they look like generous portions! I love going out for dinner. Looks like a fine evening. I hope you go out again for your birthday :)
ReplyDeleteOne thing was there was lots of food.
DeleteMerle......... ......... ..........
Merel, a 95 yr old granny to share stories with...you should have a book ready to be published. Thanks for your visit.
ReplyDeleteSadly my 95 year granny is long gone and my memory is not as good as it was.
DeleteMerle...... ........ .........
Oh, looked like a great time and lots of laughs and good food. So nice to have a visit from your kids. Those are the best, aren't they? Love the happy faces and love your little red curtains. xo
ReplyDeleteAll gone home now, it's very quite.
DeleteMerle...... .......... ............
