HAPPY BIRTHDAY MS KIM!

Kim Wilson is celebrating her 56th birthday today and those of us who know her and love her have been expressing the joy that she brings into all of our lives today.

Yesterday we started celebrating a day early with a leisurely bicycle ride through down town Eau Claire on the bike trails and lunch at the outdoor tables of the Grand Avenue Cafe.

We slept in this morning and then joined our crazy friend Doug Cox for lunch at the newly remodeled Foster Cheese House, some afternoon book shopping, and we have just now returned from dinner at Draganetti's. Just taking a moment to write this before we plunge into tonight's Netflix movie.

Earlier in the day I surprised Kim with another birthday present for the future - a Sunday morning train ride out of St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, complete with a lavish brunch as we clickity clack West across the river into Minnesota. Here's the details:

Sunday Brunch Train:11:00am

Experience fine railroad dining as it was in the 1950s. Take a relaxing, climate-controlled two hour scenic ride through the St. Croix River valley aboard MTM’s Great Northern dining cars. Come celebrate that special birthday, anniversary or just enjoy rail dining at its finest. Our brunch is served buffet-style and consists of eggs, meat, potatoes, muffins, pancakes and beverages.
