……with Lynne, Kc and Violet, co-conspirators in planning a surprise birthday celebration for me.
The mystery began when Lynne picked me up ….. I had no clue where we were going. Lynne knows all the special routes and I was delighted to drive thru Stadium Way off the 5 to downtown L.A. because I had never see that beautiful, scenic route before. (Must be in a cave.)
Anyway, we park in a lot 1/2 block from Pershing Square and I’m told ‘”We’re going to THAT building.” (You’ve got to be kidding thought I).
Across the street we go and enter through these amazing doors.
I’m right behind you Lynne……….. 
But first, in passing I noticed the plaque outside ..….
Hi Lynne…..
You change elevators twice to get to ‘PERCH’ the most wonderful roof deck where Kc and Violet were awaiting out arrival.
So cute….
Now the next few photos are for my foodie friends…..
Here’s the Brie en Croute…puff pastry wrapped brie, gala apple, fennel, pecan slaw, wholegrain aioli
Truffle French Fries with some heavenly cheese..
Ladies please, one at a time….
Heirloom Tomato Bruschetta with shallots, garlic, balsamic vinegar on herb crostini
Now if I hadn’t taken a bite out of my Mini Hot Dog…linguica sausage, honey mustard & caramelized onions, you could see it in all it’s yummyness.
What do you suppose these two are talking about?
I bet it’s Kc’s pedicure….
Since I seem to photograph EVERYTHING, don’t you think my birthday card is appropriate!!!
Kc & I had more fun ‘snapping’ each other….
The big decision now is where to hang the terrarium….it’s just delightful!
And what’s a birthday without cake and a candle….or should I say the most delicious Bread Pudding…..
Lynne, Kc and Violet with oh so happy me!!!
Have to show you Luke, our wonderful server!
Kc is looking for ‘Pershing, the Chinese Eel’ …. the building’s mascot.
Thank you dear friends for a most memorable day!
Oh, on our return, Lynne had the usual greenie for Kita….
