Yesterday was a wonderful birthday! Just after noon I received a phone call from my DH to go out to the parking lot as a parcel was waiting for me. And there he was! My DH, who has been away for the past 22 days. Standing there with his signature rose and a birthday card. I thought it could not get any better.
I was mistaken. Not only had he left the job site to drive 4 hours, just to spend my birthday with me, he brought presents too! One package of high-end Lee Valley clothes pins, a small flashlight and wait for it…..a Lee Valley Hardware catalogue. Nothing says I love you, like your very own Lee Valley catalogue.
Needless to say, I did not stay at work for the rest of the day. DH and I had a delicious barbecue chicken supper at home, as he eats at a restaurant three times a day. Instead of birthday cake, we had my favourite chocolate cream pie. The evening was topped off by a visit to the Bulk Barn for kitty litter. Yes, I have a life to be envied.
Throughout the day I received Facebook wishes, cards, birthday comments and my horoscope (thanks San). My children and grandchildren even remembered it was my day. In fact, my grandson Addison, tore himself away from Star Craft 11 long enough to call and wish me a happy birthday!
My DH left at 5:00 this morning to return to the job site. Hopefully the job will be done within a week.
Tonight everything is back to normal…….. me, the kitty and leftovers. But life is still good!
… and I sent over a ton of stalkers… er, I mean buddies of mine… to say hi. Awwwww.

On Wed Night, I told Carl it was going to rain all day and no lightening. Glad the rain gods listened to me.
