happy pre-birthday to me...

 Every year about this time my west coast brother and sister-in-law send me a gift box with a birthday gift and a Christmas gift.  I got the box today, and found, as expected, inside an extremely securely taped box, a gift for each occasion.  I'm waiting a while to open the Christmas package which is soft and squishy and quite mysterious.  But, since my birthday is only two days away and the birthday gift was small, hard, irregular and lumpy inside its pretty paper, I decided it needed to be opened now.  So I opened it and guess what?  It is a Lego set, and not just any Lego set.  It's a 58 piece Creator series Birthday Train.  But what made me smile and makes it very special is that this is my very first Lego set.  That may not seem surprising to you, but my son has been a Lego lover and collector for 45 years or so and my daughter and late husband accumulated their fair share over the years.  But somehow, I have never received one before.  I am going to wait until my birthday to put it together and I will do it all by myself.  I will post a picture when it's finished.
