My wonderful wife surprised me today with the following selections for my [bday]:
Both locos have QSI sound and DCC installed.
My birthday was actually last Monday, but the celebration was pushed back a little bit since her dad passed away the Monday before my birthday. She was planning a big 50th birthday blowout, but it will keep until next year when I can be 50 again! I think she’s a keeper! [:-^]

Very nice Don, have you thought about having two birthdays a year?
Tilden
How like life it is for her to want to experience your pleasure and joy, while at the same time she must grieve for her Dad. Please pass on my regrets to her…I hope others feel the same way.
But, for you…[8D][:P][tup]
Crandell,
I appreciate the kind words and I’ll pass your thoughts on to her…she was feeling guilty for not being able to arrange the big blowout that she thought I wanted since I was turning 50…but I was more concerned with being there for her and taking care of her needs. Maybe I should go buy some Lotto tickets!
Don Z.
Tilden,
I think it was a gentle reminder to me that her birthday is a mere 2 months away…
Nice locos! since you have 2, maybe you would like to share with your friends?
About the birthday thing, is it possible to have 2 birthdays in the same year without getting any older? Congrats on the presents, and sorry for the loss of your kin. Mike
Don, our condolences on the passing of your wifes father.
I agree with you on the big bash on your fiftieth, didn’t want one either. And now you have a couple months to think up a grand birthday gift or the wife.
Mike, what about un-birthdays?
Tilden
(P.S. Trips to Hawaii work well)
Those are very nice but what I want to know is what is SHE going to get for her next birthday? Looks to me like she deserves a trip somewhere, lol.
Wow…y’all need to lay off on all of these ‘trip’ comments! She’s already been hinting at a cruise…and that involves 2 things I don’t like: large crowds of people and I can’t swim! I’d better keep her away from my computer when I’m on the forum!
Maybe she could use a new kitchen mop…[:-^]
Don Z.
Happy belated birthday, and my condolences to your wife. Celebrated my 60th on the 27th. Got a free trip to our local hobby shop in Cedar Park. I think if you get her a mop, you might want to come to hutto and rent a room from me. Beats the dog house. Take care.
Great looking gifts. Who, said to a mans heart is threw his stomach. HA!!! I know my b-day is coming up on the 25th of this month. I have been hinting on a few things myself. I am sure you will get alot of work out of those engine. [bday]
Don,
Condolences to the Mrs.
Happy Birthday[bday]
Great locos!!
A Mop ?
Oh yeah like that will get you another loco next year !
Unless you want a new lawnmower you’d better be checking out the Travel Agencys
Actually you’re one lucky Dude !!!
Novicerr,
That’s the same shop that I patronize. Did you go to the Jamboree layout tour last weekend? My layout was on the tour…
Don Z.
Robby & Lou,
Thanks for the birthday wishes…
Don Z.
Terry,
I’ll agree I’m lucky…and I tell her that frequently! Maybe the kitchen mop idea would work better if there was a maid attached to the mop when I gave it to her!
Don Z.
Now Your Talking !!!
Sorry to say I couldnt make it to the jamboree. Wife was in cahoots with my boss to make sure I worked till 3 pm. Threw a surprise birthday party for me. Guess I will forgive her for making me work so late. LOL. Maybe next year I will make it to the jamboree.
You are lucky, and
I am definitely taking a cue from this. I’ll be telling my better half, “Look what Don’s loving wife bought for his birthday”
Depending on the reaction, I may then let it slip, “Well, there are those eight engines I have on order at Craig’s …”.
Just in case, you did say you have a cot in the garage, right ?
Best birthday wishes!
Your friend,
Don, you’re gonna love’em! Here’s a shot of my GP-9 in UP colors and I don’t even model UP! [:D]
JaRRell
Tom,
I don’t know if I’d tell the wife that I had 8 locos on order…but I might tell her she could get me a gift certificate from the store or hint that she could get some help from the store owner for ideas…think stealth mode!
