Just when I thought this birthday was over and done with, it was time to celebrate with a few more friends who also share December birthdays. On Friday, we had a festive luncheon celebration in the The Georgian Room at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel. The Georgian Room, now celebrating its 20th year rated as a AAA 4 Diamond restaurant, features French-inspired Northwest cuisine prepared by Executive Chef Gavin Stephenson.
Instead of receiving birthday gifts, our civilized custom is for the birthday girls to bring small gifts for the non-birthday girls while the non-birthday girls bring birthday cards and pay for lunch. Celebrating December birthdays with me were Jan Rogers and Londi Burnett. Jan brought thermal “green” coffee cups from her new business ShopGreenGoods.com, Londi brought darling little ladybug Christmas tree ornaments and I brought blown glass Christmas ornaments along with handmade soap. Denise, who was not a birthday girl this time brought us each a Tully’s gift card anyway and none of us even complained about her not following the birthday club rules.
Happy Birthday, Jan and Londi, and all my other December birthday friends!
