The special event this past weekend?
My birthday!
It looked something like this:
Saturday morning:
sleep in, have home-made brunch, open cards & presents.
Saturday afternoon:
drive to our mystery destination,
which turned out to be a thermal baths spa centre in Switzerland!
We spent hours relaxing in the water
& I also had an hour-long massage as FQ's present to me.
So. Great.
Saturday evening:
stop in Lausanne, Switzerland for dinner
& a few festive beverages at a really fun brewpub.
We arrived back in Annecy at 11:58 p.m.,
full, relaxed & happy.
It was a lovely birthday.

| Yummy brunch chez nous. |
 |
| Hooray for birthday cards! |
 |
| This was FQ's present to me... any guesses why?? |
 |
| Just two of the many pools filled with Swiss spring-water. |

 |
| So many beers, so little time... |
 |
| A funny part of Erin's gift to me. Does this mean she thinks I've been in France for too long? |
 |
| My friend Julie sent me several sweet kitchen gadgets, including this. |
 |
| Teatime just got way better, thanks to these cookies from my brother in Australia. |
 |
| My friend Dawn knitted this scarf for me. Swoon! Hurry up & get colder, weather! |
Mmmmm, that breakfast reminds me of a certain place ;) Love the Canadian breath spray, and yes Tim Tams are yummy :D

Thanks for the birthday girl compliments, ladies! I didn't want to share that last photo, because you can see my grey hair. Le sigh. But then I figured "c'est la vie" & I hit "post"! So thanks for making me feel good(e)!
