Yes, today is my forty something birthday. After showers we left for Winnipeg and Dim Sum! I love Dim Sum and haven’t had any for over a year. It was great! We went to the Emperor’s Garden for their Dim Sum. What wonderful food and so many different kinds. DH and the boys said I was like a kid in a candy store. I hadn’t even gotten off my coat and I was ordering shrimp and other delicacies and of course green tea, for the four of us. So happy and it was hard not over stuff myself. The guys were a little more discriminate about what they ordered. I wanted to have one of everything. Good thing the carts come around often. Wow, what a wonderful, bright, sunny, warm morning.
The afternoon was bit of a disappointment. The guys were wonderful, it was just shopping at Kathryn’s Stitching Studio, formerly Mrs. Twitchet’s Eye, was a let down. They had gone to an annual major needlework show and there were no free charts or anything to interest me. Actually the only “freebie” chart had a small button attached to it and a price tag. Poor selection, no freebies, overpriced charts and fabric and standoffish staff made it an unhappy experience. Since the new owner has taken the welcoming stitching store has really changed. I used to look forward to checking it out, but not now. I had a wonderful birthday and great day in Winnipeg with the boys and DH. Take Care. Feb 22/09
