#rubybirthday

My dearest Ruby,  @miss-rubyaustin

Today is your birthday and as your best friend, I felt it necessary to bombard you with a few gifts to not only make you feel special but to remind you that you’re getting old. I could have gone with the traditional gag gifts, like Icy Hot for your aching bones, a subscription to AARP magazine, and a walker to help you get around but I am saving those for when you turn 40. 

As it was, these were just a few things I managed to pick up here in town and two of them had to be special ordered but I think they are the most special. 

1. Box Set of goodies fit for a Queen like yourself

2. Soothing/Relaxing Bath Bombs (I might have tried these myself and given that I fell asleep in the tub, they work as advertised)

3. A foot massager for those days when you need to rest your aching feet after chasing all the kiddos. 

4. A map of the night sky on the night you were born and on the night of the day we met all those years ago. 

5. And most importantly socks with my face on them for those days when you miss me!
