Hubs' 80th Birthday was on Friday the 20th. His Godson, who is also his cousin, flew up from Tennessee on Friday so that he could take us out to dinner on Saturday. One of hubs' other cousins came along too.
We went to Longhorn Steakhouse. Being a Saturday it was crowded; but we only had to wait 10 minutes. There were a lot of tables empty; but they didn't have enough staff to wait on them. I had my usual chicken tenders dinner with mashed potatoes, salad and their delicious whole grain bread. The waiter brought hubs a hot fudge sundae after the meal for this birthday. His Godson also brought a cake which was soooo good.
I honestly don't know how and when my husband got to be 80 years old. It seems like yesterday that he was 29; and we were just getting married. (I was 22.)
Nothing else going on. What's going on with you?

I used to like prime rib a lot. I eat a lot less red meat now.

My favorite is Flo's Filet, but I've never met a bad steak at Longhorn!

@moffittjc Have you ever gone to Texas Roadhouse? That's our favorite for consistently good food.

Glad to hear you had a great time at the dinner. Not much is going on over here. Took the kids with a quick ride around town with the car today, it was quite nice.

@LindaOHio By the way, my "go-to" steak at Longhorn has always been Flo's Filet (filet mignon), but the last time I was there I tried a Longhorn Porterhouse, and it was heavenly!

@moffittjc Hubs always gets the Flo's Filet. I'll have to tell him about the Porterhouse.

I've never been to this restaurant. Don't think there is one in NYC. Glad you guys got to go out and celebrate your husband's birthday.

What???? I won’t give you that “80 is the new 50” stuff, because 61 feels like 81 to me.
Happy birthday to your hubby! And that’s a cute photo! Baby porcupines?

I still remember wondering what life would be like when the year 2000 hit. That seemed so futuristic and now I have grandchildren... where does the time go?? I still feel in my 30s...

It is always that way that time seems to fly, I am glad he had a good birthday. I always thought my soulmate would live so much longer but time changed things for us. I wish you both many more happy years and birthdays to come,

I know what you mean; and I'm sorry your soulmate didn't live longer. Thank you. I hope we have many more years together too.
