Greatest Birthday Gift ... EVER

Last Saturday, two close-friends-families joined my family for HIBACHI dinner. Hibachi is highly entertaining, especially for the kiddos (once the get past their initial fright of fire). Just the very word HIBACHI is fun to say!! Anyway, it was a birthday celebration dinner. We threw in one October birthday from one of the families, a December birthday from the other family, and then mine. It was quite a fun night, indeed.

Gwynnethe, my friend from one of the families who tagged along, was so thoughtful! She bought me a gift. But it wasn't a picture frame, or a candle, or body wash. Nooooo. It was a gift so personal, so individually thought up, so carefully constructed, so cleverly original, that I just HAD to share it with you!

It's a CVS Survival Guide!! (See previous post that I can't figure out how to hyperlink properly. This best I can do. It's entitled "My Own Private....")
