Birthday! (or How To Make Someone's Day on a Budget)


On this day 50 years ago, my beloved was born. To celebrate, I bought a cheap bouquet of flowers and ironed a tablecloth. I got out the nice dishes. I cooked up some pork chops from the supermarket; corn, green beans (canned in June), and fresh-sliced tomatoes from the backyard; caramel walnut brownies from the corner cafe; and vanilla ice cream from the supermarket. It turned out well. We had fun, and did not spend too much.
