On the Actual Day (Sunday), we headed to Prospect for dinner (not in our bus, but in my convertable Saab, which Tim is ashamed to be seen in, let alone drive - isn't Our Royal Birthday fabulous?) Prospect, just outside of Longmont (yeah, I know that clarifies it for you), is billed as Colorado's first New Urbanist community. Whatever. I thought it was kinda cute in a Prisoner-meets-Deadwood kinda way. (Ah, dating myself with the former - how apropos during my bday fortnight.) We half-expected to see a giant white ball bouncing down the streets before it was deflated by a shotgun blast. (Patrick McGoohan, are you taking notes? If not, "Be seeing you." Oh, don't say it. I'm pathetic.)
What do you think?
Now, here's a street I could live on:
After dinner, we returned to the castle, where We changed into Our usual attire...
Other Royally celebratory activities this week include:
As if they haven't already done enough for this Royal, Celestial Seasonings has posted the QUEEN OF THE ROAD webcast We did at their fabulous tour center a few weeks ago. Even if you don't want to see it, go on over to get the winning entries to their QUEEN OF THE ROAD tea-tini contest. (They look quite delectable - can't wait for Sir Tim to make them.) This is what it looked like when we recorded it:
That's Bob Kennedy with the camera.
Do check out and sign up for the Celestial Seasonings Adventure At Every Turn Book Club. Obviously, they take great care in their selections!
Finally, Jerry WAXLER (sorry, Sir Jer), posted yet another glowing tribute (is there any other kind?) to Your Queen's missive on his blog.
The Queen Father (is that what they're called?) also had a birthday this week, as will the Queen Cousin (now, I know something's wrong in this case with that one), Doug, in 2 weeks. So, happy birthday Dad and happy birthday-to-be Doug! Enjoy these 19 days a year in which we are the exact same age. You're turning 50, right? Meow.

Happy Birthday fortnight, Queen. When you wore your feather boa and crown at the restaurant, did anyone scream? Just curious. People scream when I'm in a restaurant, and I dress normally. It might be my abrasive, barking laugh. Or just the general air of insanity that surrounds me.

Actually, Robin, I think it's your shoes.

You in a boa and a crown drinking a martini is an image I adore.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Celebrating for two-weeks makes sense, why not?!
I'm running to check out the CS podcast. Mazel Tov.

Because they've been so good to you and because you asked so nice and because it was your birthday...I signed up for the book club.
Love the boa...
