In the morning, went to the Cinema Club, although Dan didn't go, instead went to the airport to pick up Jim and Laura. The movie was "Paris, 36." It was interesting, sort of a low key "Moulin Rouge". It was a French movie, and pretty good.
I then drove with Jay back to Novato, and met Lindsey, Paula and Ken. Jim and Laura and Dan were here then. It was busy and hectic and fun.
We all went to brunch at The Girl and the Fig, a wonderful restaurant in Sonoma, to celebrate my birthday a day early. We had a lovely lunch, we ate outside, and felt like we belonged there.
We then came back to our condo for the chocolate cake I make for myself every birthday. It was so nice to be with family members on, or even the day before, my birthday! it doesn't usually happen. Although I get to be with my friends, whom I miss dearly, I am rarely with family. So we all really enjoyed being together. I loved my gifts. Jay got me a bracelet that is retro and really cool, Lindsey a shawl/scarf, which I love and she knows I've wanted. Paula got me a cute tote. I will open the rest of the gifts tomorrow. It's so nice to feel loved, and I do! Pat
