Gifts

Some women want jewelry as gifts. 

Not me.

My husband gave me a wonderful gift today. After myriad errands, he veered off the logical path to a rather deserted road. 

In itself, this is not surprising. I'm used to it between Rick and my buddy RB2, with apologies to Robert Frost, the road less taken.

He parked the car and said I should get out. Now if this were a mystery novel, it would be threatening. 

Hand in hand we walked to this magical spot that he'd discovered earlier. What the picture doesn't recreate is the bird choral in the background, or the smell of the nearby flowers or the breeze caressing our cheeks.

Sharing this moment was the best gift he could have given me.
