Jim and I both have birthdays within a week of each other so celebrations tend to go over a period of time. When we were having dinner with Derek and Mary last week they gave us a bottle of Stellar's Jay Champagne from Sumac Ridge which we enjoyed with Don and Elaine on my birthday. I just love the bookends that they gave me and they are now holding up our Time-Life Library of Art books we got for a song from a library sale down in Palm Springs last winter.

I just had to show off these bookends in the living room rather than hiding them away in my sunroom library.

Jim doing the honours.

Don and Elaine waiting patiently.
