Another brown-eyed handsome man*

Yesterday was DN’s birthday and, although I remembered and, indeed, thought about him all day long, I failed to mention him in my blogpost. This week is rather fraught, ye unto brimming, with things to occupy my mind, so I’m sure he understood.
I am very grateful that DN is a part of our lives.
You what-what?
Besides being a loving partner to daughter #2, he talks with me about books and makes wonderful cocktails and drives me to the airport in ice storms. He appreciates symbolism in religious rites. He is not averse to visiting battlefields and other historic sites and can poke around in an antique store without getting impatient. He ordered three dozen tiki glasses (un-prompted) for the 200th birthday party for Herman Melville we are planning for this summer!
“He’s a keepah!”
The wee laddie has always agreed.

This is very sweet! He is definitely a keeper.
And he makes margaritas when I visit Susie even though he KNOWS they will inevitably lead to the two of us talking about a certain frenemy who shall not be named.
DN’s love language is margaritas.
Thank you so much! This is overwhelmingly lovely. It was a very happy birthday 🙂
(Also, did I purchase THREE DOZEN glasses?! Yipes! I had thought that, with Susie’s consultation, I was ordering three sets of four…)
I think you are right–I just got carried away! They are big glasses!
Great pics! And happy belated birthday, Nate!
Happy (belated 1/2 milestone Nate. I recall one can stop misrepresenting one’s age for the next 20 years or so after this one. I read Susie’s funny Instagram and thought, Oh! Happy Nate! But in Dad fashion I failed to complete the process and say so. But then Social Media isn’t my thing.
So here’s to DN, Son#2.
