Today is my husband's birthday....

Doesn't he have a great smile?

Let me tell you about him...

He likes dark chocolate,

steam trains,

the end cut on a prime rib roast,

World Magazine,

taking walks on rainy days,

walnuts on his brownies, 

calling me on his cell phone because he can and not because he forgot the list,

a lively political discussion,

grilling,
when I laugh at his jokes,

singing in the choir,

growing a garden,

surprising me with flowers,

jazz,

 decaf French roast coffee (with "no room" - if he gets it at Starbucks),

eating out at the Ram,

giving Daniel the tickle-spider,

when the Seahawks win,

 lunch with a view of Mount Rainier,

lap dogs that don't bark too much,

teasing Daisy,

meeting new people,

Starbucks old-fashioned donuts to go with his decaf French roast - "no room",

phone calls from Ben,

cooking shows,

when Annie kisses him good-bye on the cheek,

borrowing Ruh's van to make a dump run and then filling it with gas,
keeping me safe,

reaching for my hand when I walk by his recliner.

And that smile...still makes my heart swirl!
