Dean's Birthday Stone
I drove Dean out to Marenakos in Issaquah the other day, to help pick out a natural stone birdbath for the garden. It's what he said he wanted for his birthday. This one weighs over 300 lbs, and had to be loaded by a tractor into the back of our truck. We didn't think about how we were going to get it out of the truck until after we got home. I was amazed that the two of us were able to slide it off the back of the truck and into the wheelbarrow. But I did not think we would be able to get it from the wheelbarrow into the bed without one of us straining our back, or getting a hernia! Fortunately, it slid off the wheelbarrow and right into place. And I think it has turned out quite lovely. Don't you?
Happy Birthday Dean! You are my love and my light. And one helluva swell guy.

Oh, I love Marenakos. Only the getting-it-out-of-the-truck problem has kept me from getting one of those birdbaths too. It's beautiful. Glad you're both okay!
Gorgeous. What a great present. Happy Birthday, Dean.
Happy Birthday, Dean!
Sculpin/Cam: I don't think I knew you were in the Seattle area. What a small world! Definitley go to Marenakos if you can. If it's easier, they have a smaller showroom on 1st Ave South about two blocks north of Spokane street.
Gives a whole new meaning to the old Charlie Brown quote, "I got a rock." Doesn't it? *grin* Happy birthday to Dean!
Dean, happy birthday dearest. Let's celebrate when I get home.
xxoo

Peter, can't wait to see how the birdbath looks in your garden, and I can't wait to see you.
Hi Peter. Thanks for the sweet note! Yes, it's me. I didn't realize it was in PW. I'm not much of an announcer. Happy birthday to your love.
Peter, that's a gorgeous birdbath! Happy Birthday, Dean!
Aww, Anne beat me to the 'rock' comment.
Happy birthday Dean!
I'm drinking to your mutual lumbar health after handling that birdbath. . . .
(OK, I didn't mean for that to seem dirty.)
Thanks all.
AD: that is so naughty. hehehe.
