Kevin always gets me something really good for my birthday, and this year I got two great things. He started making me a dehydrator for our anniversary in August, and finally finished it the day of my birthday. He's seen me spend many hours trying to sun-dry tomatoes in the sun (or using the car as an enormous hot-box), only to burn them in the final drying session in the oven. So now, I can use my homemade dehydrator to make dried tomatoes, banana chips (I hope) and dried mangos.
He asked me what I wanted for my birthday, and I said a new stand for our water filter. You can see from the photo that our big white filter is kind of ugly, and it squats on our counter next to the sink, a constant eyesore. Necessary, but ugly. So, I asked him to get a welder to make a metal one that we could paint the same color as the window frames, and I would make a removable cover to remove the eyesore. Here you can see the results, which I am very pleased with. I'm 39, by the way, and had a wonderful birthday celebrating with out-of-town friends who brought me a bottle of shower gel, which I promptly spread on my skin because I thought it was lotion. Sigh. Obviously I've been here too long. :-) - Cami
