So why did we have to take two cars on my birthday weekend? [Subtext: Why did Dwayne get a car all to himself while I had all the kids in my car, again?] I know he had a box for me that he was sure I would recognize if I ever saw it, so I had to leave the house before he did, close my eyes during transfer, and pinkie swear not to go into certain rooms.
Finally, the moment came for the unveiling. Dwayne had told Wes in confidence that this oversize box was a flat-screen TV, assuming Wes would pass the rumor along to his sisters. The honorable Wes kept the secret, but did have his hopes dashed when it wasn’t a TV.
I, however, did not recognize the size and shape. In fact, it wasn’t until I got all the way down to the bubble wrap that it dawned on me that this was the piece of art I fell hard for at a Cannon Beach gallery in August. I flirted with ‘Mar Asul’ for a good part of that afternoon before giving it up for the lost cause it was. And then tonight, after much mystery and anticipation, I opened this, my own blue sea.
I love it!
