(I had originally posted this yesterday Jan. 24th, my birthday, but had technical difficulties.)
My birthday!
Started off with Richard cooking me breakfast: turkey bacon, eggs, fried tomatoes, sliced nectarine, and green tea. Yum.
And I got to enjoy this while doing the daily crossword. My kind of morning. Plus it was 17C and sunny. Love it.
Had lovely birthday messages from my children. Love them so much.
Then off to the gym and yoga. Today we took a change of clothes as we were going out after to celebrate my birthday. Those who know me know my love for shoes. Wish this photo was clearer to show how nice my red shoes really are.
First stop: Starbucks for my free birthday drink. Of course I ordered a venti Matcha Green Tea Latte with almond milk. Make that extra hot please. A little problem with my egg bites but that got sorted.
Second stop: Perdido Pass https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perdido_Pass
We took a walk along the boardwalk where people were fishing or sitting and enjoying the view (but not in this pic).
Found a pelican on our walk. I stood right next to it and it hardly even moved. Here’s a question for you. Is it a him or a her? I don’t know. How does one tell?
Did you know that Perdido Pass was originally man-made? Prior to 1906, there was only one way to enter the Gulf of Mexico from Perdido Bay – and the back bays of present-day Orange Beach – and that was a very narrow channel.

Third stop: Cobalt Restaurant. https://cobaltrestaurant.net/
I found this photo online. I thought it gave a better view of the restaurant and it’s location than any of mine.
A super restaurant. Loved it. Great food, great service, great view.
What more could you as for.
I ordered the special Amber Jack for my entree. You can see it as the top selection on the specials of the day menu board. What is it? See the second picture.
It was delicious.
Doesn’t it look good? 
Richard had the Jam-min BLT & E (the E was for an egg on the top). It was huge.
But sorry, I forgot to take a pic.
As it was my birthday I even had a glass of white wine. Scandalous. Lol.
Plus we splurged and had dessert.
Mine – Creole Cheesecake : Housemade Creole cream cheese with a roasted pecan crust, pecan praline & caramel sauce. Oh my. 🥰
Richard’s- Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee : Traditional French custard with a crisp shell of turbinado sugar. He said it was the best dessert he ever had.🥰🥰🥰
Stuffed. But feeling good.
Back home for some tea and relaxing.
What a great day!
Thanks to everyone for your lovely birthday wishes. I am truly blessed.
Nite y’all
