B-day ponderings

[songchick]

Well, it was a day I guess.  Not my worst birthday at least.

Nothing much happened out of the ordinary ... got up, took Molly to Sunday School, ran to Sam's Club for stuff we're running low on like detergent, dog treats, and a few other things.  Went to Mom's to take her the computer and set it up.  So far a pretty ordinary Sunday.

Mom came back to

Happy Birthday!!

Not a huge fan of saurkraut, but I like German food. Sounds like a good birthday! The ferns sound beautiful. I'm planning on getting some flowers and greenery for our patio. I'm trying hard not to "take" Andy's Home Depot card he got for his birthday and get patio stuff since I convinced him to use his $50 of the Best Buy card on the PS2. *laughs*

Beware the patio obsession ... that one's hard to beat. In fact, I'm going to price the retaining wall bricks for my patio pond this week, and go and get them on Thursday when I get paid. I've looked at that pond for 4 years, and for one reason or another haven't been able to put it in. So if you want to send me Andy's Home Depot card ... ;)

My friend makes saurkraut that you might like - she drains a can of kraut, rinses it in a collandar under water for about 5 minutes, then puts it to simmer in a saucepan with either apple juice, apple cider, applesauce, or any combination of the three. Comes out sweet but with a slight pinch from the original vinegar used in the kraut. Very similar to the red wine cabbage kraut yesterday.

Well thankfully (or not *laughs*), we're in an apartment and can only do so much to our patio space. Right now I took left over terra cotta pots from my wedding favors and sprinkled left over wheat grass seeds in some and others, flower seeds. I have lots of wheat grass, but no flowers. :( I bought a planter for our fence railing that I'll buy pre grown flowers for. I'd also like to get a small table and chair set. :)

Ah, where towards the PA border? I'd like to try it. -- Dagonell
P.S. Happy Birthday

Thanks Dag

It's on Rt. 7 about 10 minutes south of Binghamton. Very easy to find if you're in this area letterboxing or something. Just take exit 1 off Rt. 81, then follow those blue highway signs (the ones indicating restaurants and milage to them) for about 2 miles. It's on Corbettsville Road, which is right off Rt. 7. It's in a historic inn from the 1870's, and you feel like you're in some beer garden in Germany.

Happy birthday! I haven't had a terribly exciting one since...well, I think I was 16 or so? So don't feel bad about the occasional quiet one.

If we're ever up towards the NY side of the state, I'll have to try the restaurant...it sounds FANTASTIC!

[songchick]

It was really good. I love German food, and there's not a whole heck of a lot around here that serves it besides this place. Well worth the price if you ask me.

I decided quiet birthdays are good. My mom pretty much salvaged it for me, so I'm content.

Happy Birthday!

sounds like a great restaurant! Are you sure Rae wasn't talking to Grammy like Molly used to?
