Default For my 50th

I usually dont write about birthdays and such, but I have to share this.
Today for my 50th birthday, my wife surprised me with a set of Silver mirrored Glass T-Tops for the 79. Got to go for a ride today.......

Happy Birthday!!! Now go directly to the phone and order a set of locks or somebody else will be tempted to borrow them. Then take your wife to a nice dinner.

Sweet birthday present. Those are not cheap as I am sure you are very well aware of. Sounds like a great woman to me. Hopefully your BDay was a great one.

with everyone else. H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y. I turned the big Five Oh this year myself but didn't get T's from my wife. She did however make a home made chocolate swirl cheese cake for me. Women like ours are certainly hard to find.
