Finding the ideal gift for your spouse at Christmas can be challenging. This year, however, I think I outdid myself in this endeavor.
I gave Desiree a sack of dirt.
The perfect gift.
Of course, this wasn’t just ordinary
dirt. The stuff I gave her was paydirt—gravel, really—from one of our local
sapphire mines. I keep telling Desiree that one day we’re going to find our own
big, flawless sapphire and have it custom-faceted and set in a worthy piece of
jewelry. We’ve sifted through several other such sacks in the past but haven’t
found exactly what we’re looking for.
Maybe this is the one.
