Birthday gifts part 2



For my birthday I wasn't just given rubber boots, that I had to return for gray ones with red trim on the bottom.

My parents also gave me a metal water bottle, chocolate (!!!!) and a four book series called Journey Through the Night. It is one of my favorite book series and I am so excited to own them. It is so hard to find the orignal Journey Through the Night books for sale online because they are extinct.




This is the yummy ice cream cake that we ate after dinner. It only took about 10 minutes to make, you've got to like simplicity, except when it comes to barn boots . . . . never mind.

Birthday Boots Part 1



The photo above is of the boots I was given for my birthday. My barn boots had sprung two leaks a week before my birthday and I requested rubber boots as a birthday gift.

On the day of my birthday, I was happily surprised to find that I had recieved boots from my parents, but these were cooler than my last pair. From now on I would be going out to the 'barn' in a styling pair of boots that were blue with yellow flowers. They even had a buckle!

But dissapointment was about to cloud over me. My mom only meant them as a teaser. We would return these ones for a pair that was blue or maybe gray and more practical.



The next day I tried to focus on the positive side of the pair of boots that sat before me; "Well" I thought, "they are a very nice shade of gray and the red trimming on the bottom is very attractive . . . Right?"

Maybe someday I will have two pairs of boots. One for the barn and one for going to town. Maybe.
But for now I am content with my gray, red trimmed (you did see it, right?) boots.

Thank you, Mom and Dad!
