Last night my sister surprised me with a turkey dinner, with all the fixings! It’s my favorite meal, and one I never get for my birthday, (Nov. 17th) because, let’s face it, who wants to cook a turkey back to back in November?) In all my years I have never had a turkey dinner for my birthday, until last night. I was so happy and it was fabulous! Mel made my favorite chestnut dressing and butternut squash and mashed potatoes and gravy! And my Mom made me a super chocolate cake with butter creme frosting.
I got presents too! The boys, (Taft and Luke) helped me open my gifts. I got a new book by Barbara Delinsky, some perfume I love from my Mom, and a package filled with sheer delight from my sister! I say this because it was filled with all sorts of wonderful Dachshund items!! Dachshund Christmas tree ornaments, a book, and best of all this:
This is a hand painted sweat shirt of a wire haired dachshund that Melodie painted her self!!! It looks so much like my girls and I love it!!! Also in my goodie bag was a book on sisters!!! I sure am lucky to have such a special friend and sister like Mel, who worked so hard to make this birthday so special for me.
