Paul and I recently celebrated our 50th birthdays. Since you only turn 50 once, we decided to celebrate in style with our friends and family. My first celebration was a girls' weekend in Murphy's, California. We had great wine and food, Tarot card readings, and attended a fantastic Boy George concert at Ironstone Winery. The best part of the weekend was my closest friends from my childhood, college and adult life meeting for the first time. It was awesome! I am truly blessed to have such a great group of friends. The next celebration was a wine tasting weekend in Sonoma. What an experience! The house was amazing, the wine was phenomenal, and spending time with friends was the best. I am so thankful for everyone who traveled from near and far to attend. My friend Anna and her husband Per-Magnus traveled from Sweden. My sister Evie and brother-in-law John left their twin babies at home and made the trek from North Carolina. And my good friend Jonna made the trip from Seattle. We rode bikes, drank lots of wine, and enjoyed the beauty of wine country from a villa high in the hills above Geyserville. Paul's celebrations were also a blast. We spent his birthday at a cabin in the Sierra foothills. We were fortunate to get over a foot of snow, so the kids had tons of fun sledding and building snowmen. They carried on the tradition of "midnight sledding", and stayed out until about 1:00 AM barreling down the sled run they created. The main birthday event for Paul was a weekend in Tahoe. The view from our house was outrageous! Most of the crew went skiing, which gave me some quiet time to play in my art journal and enjoy the view. We ate, drank and explored the beauty of South Lake Tahoe. We are now officially on the other side of 50, and looking forward to what the future has in store.
