I am Captivated!

"She is the crescendo, the final, astonishing work of God. Woman. In one last flourish creation comes to a finish not with Adam, but with Eve. She is the Master’s finishing touch. How we wish this were an illustrated book, and we could show you now some painting or sculpture that captures this, like the stunning Greek sculpture of the goddess Nike of Samothrace, the winged beauty, just alighting on the prow of a great ship, her beautiful form revealed through the thin veils that sweep around her. Eve is . . . breathtaking. Given the way creation unfolds, how it builds to ever higher and higher works of art, can there be any doubt that Eve is the crown of creation? Not an afterthought. Not a nice addition like an ornament on a tree. She is God’s final touch, his pièce de résistance. She fills a place in the world nothing and no one else can fill. "

This IS my beloved, Judy. And it is her birthday! And this is a re-cap of her special day.

A restored heirloom. A favourite cookbook. Sushi at home. "The Devil Wears Prada" over an Orange Cream cooler. These are a few of her favourite things!

For one month, I'm married to an older woman and, whoa, man, do I love her!

Happy Birthday sweetheart!
