John celebrated his 24th birthday yesterday. Well, it was actually more like I celebrated John's birthday while he was depressed because "a third of his life was over". For some reason, he was really melodramatic. It must be the age!Not to worry because he was quickly cheered up with the gifts and cards he received from family and friends. He mostly has received money which he plans to spend on a week of birthday dinners. He has a list of places he wants to go celebrate. I thought it was a great idea too. We could get free desserts from each restaurant!
Money is a good gift because what else can you get a man who spends his life reading science books for entertainment? However, a wife can not give the gift of money for obvious reasons. So from me, he received an EcoSphere. It is a self-contained ecosystem which tiny shrimp, vegetation, and water. It is perfectly combined so that the system will last for years inside of a glass ball. It will be a tourist attraction in itself.

John,
Hope your birthday was fun. Sounds like it was. Now I can assure you that you are still a very young man. When you get as old as Grandpa and I, then you have to have a pity party.
Love you,
Grandma Butch
