This is the Shake Shack version of chocolate and champagne.
Chocolate shake and white wine? Close enough.
Here’s to leaving the hotel without a cardigan, finding new friends through old friends, and fat babies with furry heads.
What are you toasting this week?

I am toasting a dear friend who leaves behind a case of sparkling red when she hightails it out of town.

To the sounds of a wild pack of toddlers learning sports, to chocolate milk shakes and at least five goodnight kisses.

Making it through the day without my boy (he’s away with Captain Fun) and finishing the last of my massive summer of home improvement chores.

I am toasting to reuniting with two old friends and making an old one. One who drove 16 hours from Florida (nonstop) to Texas. One whose job moved her magically to Texas from Virginia. And the last, who is just luckily off duty as a sea captain in time to be with us all. All of us having known one another in South Africa 5 years ago. Most of this unplanned.
I toast happy luck and coincidence.

Having my first Shake Shack chocolate shake on Tuesday, crossing the Brooklyn Bridge for the first time today, and meeting my friend’s cute baby, who looks like Ponyo from the Miyazaki movie.

Here’s to too many cupcakes, fancy matchboxes, homemade ginger beer, a niece so marvelous that she gives you this Psycho shower curtain, and good friends who find time to express their love even in the busiest of times.
And here’s to another year under my belt!
