My "Still in My 40s" Husband

June 9th, 2013 at 03:03 pm

Tomorrow is my dear husband's 50th birthday. He's not quite kicking and screaming into his 50s, but he is not going gently either. I took him out for a splendid dinner last night using (for some of the enormous bill) a gift card received from our window installer. You know how sometimes expensive meals are just not worth it? Well, this one was. Wonderful food, wonderful setting overlooking Lake Michigan, fabulous service--and when we left the restaurant, one of the lakefront festivals had a fabulous fireworks display.

We went for a nice drink at a local jazz club, and had a wonderful evening. DD was at a sleepover so saved the cost of babysitting, and while the evening was pricey, it was well worth it.

    You just have to do those things once in a while. Condolences to the hub on entering the fifties, but soon he'll find they are not bad at all!

    It sounds like a wonderful celebration with fireworks for all. I hope you'll take a ton of photos today to mark the next phase of wonderful days.. Fact is 50's are merely a twitch past middle age in this century. It moves him closer to retirement but what fun to plan all the things he'd like to do when there will be wide swaths of time.

    Happy birthday to your husband! My daughter's birthday is also the 10th! (She is so excited she is freaking out - I guess it's a little different when you're turning 8!)

    Great that your expensive meal was worth it. (I've had that experience too, where it's not.) Eh, the 50's aren't so bad. I've recently gone there myself and lived to tell the tale. Smile

    My 40s and so far my 50s aren't bad. My 30s were horrible.
