One year ago, we spent my birthday in Point Reyes National Park where Daniel surprised me with a camping trip and a ring. Remaining true to Daniel's nature, my birthday was not without surprises. Daniel cooked a delightful breakfast of blueberry scones, omelet, bacon, fruit and yogurt. At noon we enjoyed a picnic lunch in Union Square and some shopping.
For dinner Daniel took me to Dosa for Indian food. It was an incredibly thoughtful pick. Growing up, every year Mom would ask me what I wanted for my birthday dinner..... and every year it was curry and rice, a recipe that has been passed down through our family for years. By the time I was a teenager she no longer needed to ask. It's still a dish that gives me warm feeling all the way down to my toes. Nothing will ever have the power of Mom's curry.
After dinner, Daniel took me to the San Francisco Ballet to see Little Mermaid. It was a stunning interpretation and the theater was beautiful. I was so grateful for my husband, for my journey and for my lovely city. It was a magical birthday.
