40 by 40: #39 and 40 -The End…

Well, this is it.
I ventured out to experience 40 things I’ve never done before (big or small), and I have done it. I have had a ball and have been encouraged along the way to continue “living life”. I will…

As you have gathered by my posts, I love to eat, explore and experiment. And, I love natural beauty – God’s creation, especially the ocean. How fitting that on the first day of my 40s I enjoyed all of this. We enjoyed breakfast on the deck, reflecting on the past decade and hopes for the year.

Later we went for a brief walk along the coast.

Our final stop was in Santa Rosa for lunch at Guy Fieri’s Johnny Garlic’s (#39). Volcano chicken and molten chocolate lava cake (what’s a birthday without cake??) were my selections, and I was not disappointed. Delicious.

We returned to Richmond to pick up our sweet daughters (thanks Dave and Josie!!) and go home to Enoch (thanks Ann!!). And the celebration continued…more chocolate cake and 40 kisses from my 3 year old son. Makes me smile.

Thanks for joining me as I pursued 40 by 40!! It’s been a fun, eye-opening, encouraging journey. I am glad that I took it (thanks for the inspiration Jan!), grateful you have joined me, and I look forward to what God has in store as the year goes on.
Now. Go.
Do your own!

Oh, the 40th thing I’ve never done before is TURNED 40!!!
