Toni's 50th birthday


Toni's 50th birthday, originally uploaded by juliecinci.

Today found me out to lunch with some of my dearest homeschooling friends. Toni (second from the left) turned fifty and we celebrated at Don Pablo's. I loved the colorful background! Found ourselves talking about grandchildren, adult children and menopause... yes, I really am in that age group now. :)

365 challenge:
One of the tough things about these one-a-day photos is how many good pictures I'm not posting to this blog! I have a "day in the life of" collection that is growing and think I'll use it for tomorrow. If anyone else has been accumulating a day's worth of typical outings in pictures, I'd love to see yours too. A bit like Donna's self-portrait challenge and Nikki, Laura and Carol's 24 hour day shots. Mine will be a composite of several days (in about 5 shots), but will show some of the sights on my regular routine through the lens of a camera. If you want to join me in doing it, let me know. Could be fun.

Well, I guess homeschooling keeps you young. Toni looks great, and so do her friends!

Happy birthday, Toni!

I love Don Pablo's; I haven't found one here in Northern Virginia, so I only have fond memories of the one back in Mobile.

I only see water glasses on the table; I know it was a lunch, but surely there were some celebratory margaritas in the mix.....

I love the colors in the background, and you got a good shot of every single woman. Wow.

I have a Flickr "set" of work related photos, and have been thinking of walking my route to work to get some of the good photos I can't while driving. I also have a Piedmont Park "set" for all I see on my daily walks. I guess I had sort of the same idea as you...what is my day like At this rate, it will have to be a book!! :-) When are you doing this; where will you post them?

Laura, I think I'll do it tomorrow to clear out some of the photos I keep wanting to post but that keep being usurped by extraorodinary events. I want to include my regular life, not just outings, kwim?

I have been thinking about doing the day in the life of for a while, this may just be the time to do it. Tomorrow should be pretty typical. Maybe I will even work that self portrait into the bunch :)

Beautiful colors and great shot of yor friends!

I'll try for the "regular routine" shots. I may not be able to post them until Sun/Mon though. I look forward to seeing yours!

It's nice that you have a close group of friends like this, Julie. Again, I remember when you moved back East and felt so misplaced, but you have definitely found your way. Good for you! : )

I'd like to do a "day in the life" series at some point, just not sure when it's going to happen...
