Okay, I have done my middle-of-the-night work, and Dale should have a nice smile on his face when he gets up in the morning. Presents and birthday cards are piled high on the kitchen island and encircled by a “Happy Birthday” banner. Foil decorations hang from the light fixtures over the breakfast table, and another “Happy Birthday” banner stretches across the bay-style window that looks onto the deck. I cleaned up the remainder of Jonathan’s toys that were out, so the room looks nice and tidy.
And I haven’t even put out all the presents! Jonathan’s and mine to him are being kept back, and they’ll appear while he’s on his bicycle ride in the morning. It sounds as though we may aim for a birthday dinner at Pappadeaux; I don’t think we’ve been there for about five years. As long as they have chocolate cake, Jonathan will be happy, as he’s determined that’s what kind of cake his dad needs to pick for his birthday.
Happy Birthday, Dale!
