Johnny and I celebrated our 51st anniversary this past July 7th. Of course last year was the BIG FIVE-O, and I blogged about it here and here.
Some anniversaries we exchange gifts with each other and some we do not. This year because we are building our new home, we decided not to buy specific gifts; however, when we were out and about on our special day, we stumbled upon the perfect gift for the both of us! Our favorite color is blue. This 5½ inch, cobalt blue pitcher caught Johnny's eye first. Once I glommed upon it, there was no doubt that it was coming home with us!
You can see by the "made in China" sticker on the bottom that this is quite a costly piece. (Ahem!)
We both prefer to think that it reflects the beautiful, ongoing love we've shared for over half a century.
Thank you for allowing me to show it today.

How to Wrap A Baseball Bat
The best part about birthday presents is getting exactly what you want, and better yet being surprised by the gift. If you've ever tried to wrap an odd-shaped birthday present, you know that it's quite important that the shape of the wrapped gift not give away what's inside. Our grandson, Pierce, wanted a baseball bat. We bought him one, and here's how we presented it. First, I wrote on the back of some gift wrap paper, rolled the gift wrap paper up, stuck it in a gift bag, and when Pierce unrolled it, he read the following:
He said, "Sweet!"
Here's the handsome, now-eleven-year-old with his two proud grandparents!
Later, the birthday boy went with his family out to eat a birthday dinner and posed for this picture with Johnny and me.
Pierce,
Ask Papa for his car keys, and open his trunk."
