He was so excited about the
gift. Lovingly wrapped at home in beautiful wrapping paper and bows, he
smuggled it over two hundred miles through the barren Mojave desert to our resort. Was the significant date of 10-10 a factor in the mysterious occurrence that took place at ten o'clock in the morning?
Twenty years of marriage and two hundred miles later, I am the proud owner of a
Kindle Fire HD.
Here is the wrapping.
Funniest thing was the hotel
had a matching picture on the wall.
Then I received the case.
Everything matched.
On our way home through the desert, we saw a huge rainbow!

Was it meant to be?
Next year will it be stars?
ReplyDeleteYes Bryan but I see stars all the time!
DeleteThe stars and moon are in aliment !
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip
I thought it was so funny! Thanks for stopping by Parsnip!
DeleteJust as long as the wrapping isn't fluorescent orange!
ReplyDeleteNo, the wrapping matched the cover and the wall art. It was all so coordinated. I'm thinking you don't like fluorescent orange?
DeleteI had a friend in high school who drove a fluorescent orange Jetta.
DeleteThat's so sweet. And spending your anniversary at a resort too. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThe Mandalay Bay Resort & Spa is one of our favorites places for it's lazy river pool and sandy beach with waves. It's not like a normal Vegas destination.
DeleteYou're going to love your Kindle Fire. I'd be lost without mine!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary. Sounds like you got yourself a keeper!
Yes, he's a keeper. At least for another 20 if not more....
DeleteMy mom just got the Kindle Fire HD, too. I'm so jealous. It's awesome.
ReplyDeleteI kept fighting the whole eReader thing but destiny won out. Thanks Kelly.
DeleteLooks like it was meant to be.
ReplyDeleteHugs and chocolate,
Shelly
Some things are meant to be and seeing the magic makes it so much fun!
DeleteAwesome gift! I have Kindle reader app on my iPad, not sure if it functions the same, but I love it. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane. I hope to enjoy it when I've plowed through a few hundred of the paperbacks cluttering my writing area. Thanks Diane.
DeleteI know I already commented but can you e-mail me about how you will be using the kindle. I assume it will be in color ? that was one draw back for me before.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking about it for a gift, so any comments will be most useful.
cheers, parsnip
I guess you can also watch movies on my Kindle HD, so it would make a great gift Parsnip!
DeleteHow sweet. It's so funny that the wrapping matched. From the pics you posted on FB, it looked like you had a great trip!
ReplyDeleteWe had a great time. Even with the rain.
DeleteWhat a wonderful story! I knew Steve was a nice guy. Happy Anniversary (again). Let us know how you enjoy (or not) the Kindle.
ReplyDeleteSteve is wonderful. I will let everyone know what I think of my Kindle.
DeleteVery cool! What a great present too! Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI still think it's very mysterious but I like your choice of words. It was very cool, especially because it made me laugh.
DeleteI don't have the Kindle Fire (just the plain-Jane oldest model) but I can't say enough good things about it. You'll enjoy yours. Now you can get the FREE downloads now for your kindle when they come up, plus buying ebooks is soooo much cheaper.
ReplyDeleteOh, love how everything matches...it has to be fate! LOL
Yes, I've already downloaded a couple of books. I can't wait to read them.
DeleteHow funny! It was obviously meant to be. Happy Anniversary.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree it was meant to be! Thanks for visiting.
DeleteHappy Anniversary.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing missing now is the matching sweater!!!
We saw a dress rather than a sweater the next day! Made us crack up!
DeleteWow... weird coincidence. Of course it was meant to me, and I hope you love using it!
ReplyDeleteI agree it was meant to be! Thanks Carla for visiting.
DeleteHappy Anniversary. Let us know how you like using a Kindle. I don't have one yet.
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know. I've downloaded two books already and I'm looking forward to reading them.
DeleteThat is too funny!! Happy anniversary and enjoy your Kindle. I don't have one. They don't really appeal to me...not yet anyways! lol...I'll probably come around and get one soon enough though! I suppose one advantage is that you can carry piles of books around with you without having to actually carry piles of books! Have a great day Eve!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! How thoughtful and coincidental. You'll love it.
