Josh really went out of his way to make my birthday this year special. He had been going on for three weeks about how I was supposed to come to his house after I got off work on the 6th. When I showed up, he had cooked me dinner. How nice.
The real surprise was when he pulled three pounds of king crab out of the freezer--overnighted from Anchorage. I just about bawled! When I had calmed down enought to be coherent, he asked what I had thought my surprise was. Earlier in the week I had written down my guess on a pice of paper--Alaskan Amber. He said, "Oh, like this?" and pulled one out of the fridge! I was absolutely astounded. It was a terrific surprise. We both ate king crab until we were sick, bringing back very fond memories of Alaska, and commercial fishing.
I am so thankful that, even though I won't be able to make it to Juneau for a few more months, I had some of Alaska brought to me. What a wonderful birthday surprise!!!
