Saturday was Mr. Mickey’s eighty-sixth birthday, so we spent the day celebrating carefully. Our favorite restaurant in town opened again with limited seating, and all of the staff wore masks. We thoroughly enjoyed getting dressed up a little and having a delicious meal at our usual table at Gourmet and Company.
My red lipstick is Girls’ Night – Classic Red here. It is a true classic red with no orange.
None of my items are new, so I’ve linked to similar current items: Blazer – Cami – Necklace – Bag – Shoes – Pearl Bracelet – Tennis Bracelet – Dome Ring. The pants are here.
The Amuse-Bouche above was divine! It included crab and shrimp with fresh chives. (Amuse-Bouches are not ordered from a menu but are served free and according to the chef’s selection.)
I often order an appetizer as my entree. This time, it was the Wild Mushroom Porridge with Carolina rice grits, Parmigiano-Reggiano, preserved lemon, arugula, and poached farm egg above.
The guest of honor had the Seared Diver Scallops with tomato, dill, summer squash salad, three graces chèvre, watercress, and local cucumber water above.
Above is warm berry cobbler with house-made vanilla ice cream and a glass of port. Below is White Chocolate Marzipan Bread Pudding with smoked butterscotch sauce and root beer whip.
Happy Birthday Mr. Mickey!

happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Mr. Mickey! It looks like a lovely celebration! I love your outfit Susan! Can you share how you keep the sleeves of your jacket pushed up? I find I am constantly pushing mine to stay put!
Mine don’t stay up for the whole evening. I have to readjust them occasionally. I pull up the sleeve near the elbow and then tuck the lower part of the sleeve up and under the fold. You can also find sleeve garters on Amazon to keep sleeves in place.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Mickey! Wishing you a year of joy.
Thank you for sharing your festivities with us!
86 is the new 50!
Happy Birthday Mr. Mickey! You are looking mighty dapper!

Happy Birthday Mr Mickey! I’ve been looking for a true red lipstick, so I’ll be checking this one out! Thanks for sharing
Lovely, the two of you!! Mr. Mickey, wishing you the happiest year ever.
I’m looking at these Sasha pants but I can’t find the sizing. Not sure what size to order. How do these run? Thank you. I’m a curvy woman.
The pants run true to size. I bought the same size I get in jeans, and they fit well.
I absolutely ADORE how you style and carry yourself.
I am 64 and have had medical issues this past year which have put me in a slump and have made me feel frumpy.
Your Spark and Attitude has given me just the Jolt I needed.
I’ve given away tons of clothing that have not worked for me for a long time – adios 🙂
I am getting my lean look back and copying your look of slim lines and color on top.
Thanks for the inspiration … I can’t even remember how I found you as I don’t Facebook, Twitter, etc.
but — I will keep following — just keep posting.
Thank you, Maureen. I enjoyed reading your enthusiastic comment. Stay beautiful!
