LES MISERABLES
This past Sunday was my birthday. And the reason I'm blogging about it is that I was in suspense for 2 weeks, ....
About two weeks before my 33rd birthday I received an anonymous letter, letting me know that a surprise was up my alley for the 29th. Too busy to plan a party due to the girls' birthdays was a bad excuse according to the letter, and this was going to be changed: the message was that I would be picked up in the morning and be brought back sometime after midnight. The 10 days befor my surprise day out were "normal" work days, in which I (of course) tried to extract information about the surprise from my husband and a few close friends. But ... no such luck! The mystery planner was still a mystery!
On the morning of the 29th I was picked up by four girlfriends for a high-tea brunch in Middelburg. Is Holland we say "gezellig", a very enjoyable, relaxing, and filling morning! After 12.00 3 of the 4 friends went home, and my "mystery planner" revealed the rest of the day's itinerary: Shopping in Rotterdam (without kids!!!!!), out to eat and in the evening the HUGE and wonderful surprise of going to see the musical "Les Miserables". Amazing! Beautiful! Voices, orchestra, set, costumes, moving....an evening to remember forever! For more that one reason - Thank you dear friend, for this spectacular present! Words couldn't say more!!!
