Mary Kay and I were born just a week apart so we celebrated our birthdays together. This year we went to Lucca's, a favorite of both of us, and just a short walk from her new home. We toasted with a glass of wine and finished by sharing a chocolate cake. Great memories of birthday dinners together.
