Brad is a wonderful shopper, and I "help" him, by giving him a list of ideas for things I'd like. This year, he bought me a new Mary Francis handbag. Doesn't it look just perfect for the Amalfi coast or Liguria? I can see carrying it next year on our trip to Portovenere!

He also surprised me with this lovely pendant to use with some citrine beads I bought earlier this year in L.A.

We had a lovely birthday dinner at Maestro's, one of the best steak houses in the Scottsdale area. A lemon drop, chopped salad, ribeye steak, and loaded potato was my dinner of choice. I passed on the chocolate cake, and held out for a scoop of passionfruit gelato later in the evening!
