Yes, it is my birthday today. And it’s a good time to share something about Eric with you all. You see, Eric has a trait, a good trait I might add, that prevents him from lying. He really cannot tell a lie. Not even a small little fib. If someone calls and I don’t want to talk I tell him to say I’m at the store, but he simply answers and hands me the phone saying “I cannot lie.”
I know. This is a very good trait! Except at certain times. Like my birthday. It’s rare that Eric can surprise me. Because he was not born with the “sneaky gene” that I obviously have. One time I was walking upstairs and said, innocently, “What are you doing Eric?” He quickly turned, sighed with frustration, and replied “Gheeesh. I was hiding your Christmas gift, as he lifts it up, in plain view, up to my face so I can clearly see it. All he had to do was say “Nothing” and I would’ve continued on my way to whatever I was doing, not giving him a second thought!
So, I walked over to the table the other day and inquired about a new little basket he seemed to be working on. In true, I-cannot-tell-a-lie form, he said “Gheesh. I’m making a necklace for your birthday.”
It is really cute. I love it! But I wish he could learn to be a little sneaky. Just a little…
honesty. So refreshing. don’t ask the question! the necklace is adorable. you lucky woman!
Thanks Pamela! Yes, it is refreshing. And thanks for reading!
Oh Lynne, that basket necklace for your birthday present is darling! And the mold was a wine bottle cork, how cute. That Eric is quite a guy, even if he can’t lie. Best wishes for a great birthday, dare I ask which one this is for you?
Oh Yes! The mold! I forgot to mention that! Glad you saw it in the picture! All I’m going to say is that I’m in my 40’s… 🙂
Happy Birthday to you. What a beautiful necklace. You have something that nobody else will have. have a wonderful day. Counting down to Jan.
