Buddy turned 14-years old on Saturday the 24th. She requested to go to dim sum at CBS Seafood in Chinatown. Goober brought her friend AND her fancy justice-balance pin. It was a rainy morning but we got there just in time before the weekend breakfast rush. So without further ado, here are some pictures from that glorious morning when I realized just how old I'm getting.

Later that night JMK and I went to Lin's sister-in-law's wedding. Dinner was delicious. Chicken breast stuffed with spinach and mushrooms were accompanied by mashed potatoes, green beans, baby carrot and yellow squash. The person at our table who ordered the vegetarian meal left before dinner so we passed her plate around and everyone just picked something off of it.
The wedding cake was gorgeous but I'm not a big cake fan so it didn't do much for me. It was Neapolitan flavor and the servers butchered the poor thing.
