Celebrating Each of Us

Jodi and my birthday are five days apart and so we like to celebrate between them.  Today we did that and it was so much fun.  I am born on National Milk Chocolate Day and Jodi is born on National Ice Cream Sandwich day and so last year I thought it would be fun to give those treats out to others when we were celebrating us.  We got a dozen of each and went to the Riverdale Splash pad.  We thought the mom's and dad's there could probably use a treat.  I think everyone was thrilled with their treats.  I saw faces light up and that made me happy. ☺ I didn't notice Sam from SNAP until we were already approaching her to give her a treat.  I even got her in the picture of the splash pad or at least her back. I think we took the perfect amount and look forward to doing it for years to come.  It was fun giving to treats to strangers because they just don't expect it.  I know that some thought we were selling them and we had to let them know it was a gift from us.  Pretty fun...Great "National" days to be born on!

We went to Applebee's even though I had gone there yesterday.  I just ordered something different. ☺ Jodi and I really are so much a like.  She has the exact shirt I was wearing today and had it out to wear but for some reason didn't.  There have been many times that we were meeting and at the last minute I changed only to find out that I would have worn the same colors as Jodi.  It happens a lot and I just think that's funny.  Even our gifts to each other were similar this year.  We each brought the other chocolate and a figurine.  I love the cute whimsical  "Glinda" figurine Jodi gave me...it makes me smile.  It's so stinkin cute!  I got her a willow figurine with purple flowers that said something about her bringing me Joy...it's true, she does.  The time flew!  We talked about a lot of different things today..shared so much. Oh how I love Jodi!
