Jeff's birthday was this week; and as is our custom, the celebration happened on several days, rather than just one. On his actual birthday, my parents joined us for dinner, and we gave him a few "small" gifts...including this pepper mill. When we had been shopping in a discount store recently, he had noticed this and had expressed his liking of it--a rare thing for him to do--so I snuck back and bought it for him. After all, everyone needs a pepper mill that's literally 20 inches tall, right??? Some freshly ground pepper on your dinner, anyone? :)
Last night we had some friends over for our monthly Friday night potluck fellowship night, so we got to sing "happy birthday" to Jeff, watch him blow out some candles, and eat peppermint cake (aka, "Shank cake," which I may explain in another post) together.
I am unspeakably grateful for the gift of this past year of life with my beloved husband. It was
his birthday we celebrated, but
I'm the one who gets the gift of living with him day by day and enjoying all that he adds to my life.
