BIRTHDAY!

​This husband of mine…

does birthdays differently than his beautiful bride...

She's a...think...ponder…search…for the perfect treasure…kind of gift giver...
he’s a...let’s go shopping...you can pick out what you want…birthday shopper...

At first...that felt kind of hollow…because to be honest...when an old gal...becomes an old gal...if she wants that Ronco Pocket Fisherman...she'll just buy...that Ronco Pocket Fisherman...

But the last couple of years…around  birthday time…there seems to have begun...an internal paradigm shift...it teeters on embarrassing...but…this old birthday gal... just may have become...akin to a geriatric child...in the candy store...

That green shacket...BIRTHDAY...Kendra Scott druzy jewel...BIRTHDAY...a vintage vase that serves no purpose except to be beautiful...BIRTHDAY...

And…that good sport husband of mine….chuckled all the way to Buc-ees…that truck stop of all truck stops…where one final treasure called to this old gal…
​
Muffin…Muffin needed a home…Muffin is the softest plushie ever…Muffin makes this old birthday gal smile… and every other day Old Gal said no to Muffin… but today….BIRTHDAY...

And that wonderful husband of mine...agreed...
