Breezy Autumn Day

Typical Seattle weather has returned and we are wearing our jackets now with a hood. I am surprised how quickly the weather returns to cooler weather. It takes forever to turn to warmer weather in the summer. It will be a nice change for mom and Ron when the come to visit in October.

Yesterday Dave appeared in the morning with a package and a card for our anniversary. I hadn't yet got my present ready so I told him that I would open later in the evening. We decided that we would use one of our birthday gift cards to Black Angus for dinner.

So, at 5 pm he came to the college and picked me up. We both had our gifts. After we ordered we opened gifts. An older African American woman was watching us across the aisle. She congratulated us and as we opened the gift, she was excited for us. It was fun. Dave had heard me say something about an alarm clock that puts the time on the ceiling, so he bought me one. At home he had a dozen red roses for me.

Dave loves watches. If a person could have an addiction for watches, he is a candidate. i didn't buy him a watch for his birthday but he bought himself two. But that doesn't mean anything... there are more watches out there. So, I bought him one in a style that he doesn't have yet. It has many of the feathers in it that he likes... brushed two toned metal etc. It is more dressy than many of his other watches. Luckily he loved it.

I also bought him a tie because Aaron has taken all his ties that he likes to wear at work. Dave was a typical dad, letting his son use his ties. One day I found a tie hanging on the the fence rail out in front of the house. The weather had wrinkled it a little. I discovered it was the favorite tie of both of them (originally Dave's). Now he has a tie of his own again.
