Yes! Jas opted to open his birthday presents early tonight. He is turning 35 tomorrow, I'm glad he has to go first, 35, how did that happen? Any way, he LOVED IT! I was worried. I don't have a great track record for surprise gifts. First I got him a 300 ft rappelling rope and he looked terrified when he opened it, and then returned it--the fear of heights over rode the desire to double rope Cougar Cliffs. Then I got the 2nd monster tool box for the garage and he didn't want it so I had to take it back (too much in the garage already, wanted to downsize, not put more in there). So the day after I bought the Safari Window kit (front and rear) for the '64 VW Double cab (perfect gift, I thought) Jason said, "Lets sell the bus and put the money into the 'Burban". He has a 58 Chev Suburban in the garage that we have toted around forever (his dad gave it to him at age 13 or something...it is the dream, but no engine, doesn't get worked on, it is still a dream...the double cab runs and is fun to drive and gets worked on, so silly me I figured lets go with that). So I was thinking "GREAT, I thought I got the perfect gift and now he doesn't even want to keep that vehicle!" I have been in dread since they arrived-they can't be returned! Well tonight when he opened them he saw the "Wolfgang" address label and guessed what they were and LOVED THEM! Yee Haw! I did good, I did good!
Nothing beats surprising the love of my life in a good way.

Tami! You went from Fullmer to Fullerton! That really gave my ailing memory a workout.
I loved reading your blog. Well done on the perfect gift! I have a very poor track record for my husband Paul- but for our 10th wedding anniversary I got him a banjo and it was a hit. Maybe these skills come with age.
Love your pics Carol! The Fullmer to Fullerton switch threw me too. I signed Fullmerton for a couple of years, try signing something starting with the first four letters and then skipping one (the m) then continue and add ton on the end...it was tough!
It does feel great to nail the gift doesn't it, I must agree on the skill developing with age...I'm sure I'll do better from now on!
