ABC Wednesday-V-Valuable


I took my ten-year-old granddaughter and husband to a performance of  "The Nutcracker Suite" for their shared birthday gift.  It's a wonderful way to show a child that we value music and dance.  It was a valuable lesson in the pleasure of fine arts and a wonderful way to demonstrate that I value being with them to celebrate an important day in their lives.

Birthday Quiz


Sorry folks, but no-one guessed what was in the gift box I posted on September 11. DH knows that I love perfume, and he's a careful observer. He noticed that a bottle of my favorite scent, Tuscany, by Estee Lauder (the nearly-empty one in front) was getting low. It's been increasingly hard to get but he tracked it down and bought a bottle for me. Behind the perfume is a make-up kit containing lots of lipsticks and other fun cosmetics. Last year he found a company that makes perfume that is no longer sold and he ordered a bottle of a scent, Replique, that I used to wear when we were dating. In addition, he gave both of us a subscription to the Minnesota Opera this season. Gotta love the guy!

A Different 9-11: Happy Birthday to me!

Once upon a September morn, I was born. A much better way to remember 9-11, isn't it? Thanks to DH, this lovely gift appeared today. Now I can't wait to see what's in it! Quiz: A postcard from the city on the Mississippi goes to the first person who correctly guesses what's in it!! (Gosh, I hope it's something good!!)
