We've got a lot going on here.

Another Rite of Passage

This was the first year Bob gave Mr. Rosenberg and I gifts without our help or presence and with his own money. Bob told me he went to one of my favorite stores, told the clerk his budget, what he was looking for, and that my favorite color is green. From what she showed him, he picked this beautiful bracelet out for me, handmade by a local artist. Mr. Rosenberg received a pair of dress socks with a drawing of Dwight Shrute on them. He was enamored with his gift also.

Gift of Guys

Jeff commissioned this painting for me of the guys, from an artist he met at the park. He even paints them on, and frames them with, reclaimed/repurposed wood. I'm in love.
