A Birthday Celebration

My husband Don is turning 40 this week, so in his honor some friends from church took us out to lunch yesterday to celebrate. This was organized by John and Ramelle, who introduced us to each other.
-
We had a nice meal at the El OK Corral, and then everyone blessed Don with a very creative selection of gifts in quantities of 40: envelopes, pennies, old flyers, Q-tips, rubber bands, cotton balls, chocolate chips, pieces of candy, canned beets (40 calories per serving), weed eater line (40 inches), pieces of cereal, index cards, etc.
-
Don was supposed to tell what he was planning to do with each gift, though for some of them I think he is still trying to think of a use (does anybody like beets??).
-
Anyway, it was fun, with a lot of good laughs, and reminded us both how thankful we are to have friends to celebrate with.

P.S. Happy 40th Birthday Jennifer!

Have a great day... Jen
