Hello,
It is not really Leroy’s birthday, but
we had a little impromptu celebration anyway. Before I set off for shopping I moaned
to Leroy that I had not gotten him a gift and I did not know what to get him. Last
night he had talked about getting the entire set of US stamps for 2014. I
suggested he just get it and it would be my gift to him. He did not seem happy
with that, probably because it was not a surprise and I had really nothing to
do with it but talk about it.
This morning I headed out to shop hoping
to see something that would seem like the right thing. First I got a pair of
gloves and a pair of mittens because he likes both. He has been complaining
that his gloves are getting quite worn. He likes the warmest he can find. These
might not live up to his high standards, but they were as good as I could do at
the moment. Then I found a zippered cardigan sweater that was in his size. He
likes to have such at work so he can add an extra layer if needed. Because he
has two work places and only one zippered sweater, it was filling a need. This rust
color will go with quite a few of his clothes. Even if it does not he will wear
it if he is cold and needs it. Then I found a pair of warm lounge pants because
his last pair has a hole in it. The last item was the game, Sequence, that we
do not own, but I have played and liked. I think Leroy has played it too, but
he did not remember it.
We will be at Brian’s house for his
birthday. I told him I would like to open his gifts before we go. He agreed and
said, “How about now?”
So this birthday deal surprised both
of us. It was fun! He seemed to be quite pleased with everything and it all
fit. What more could he want? Nothing has to be returned, unlike his Christmas
gifts.
No birthday sweet treat, but an
amazing veggie mixture that tasted quite good along with some zucchini fritters
from Robin.
