Susan's Husband is updating everybody on his gift(s)!

Hello!

I'm Susan's husband - the Susan that posted here a month ago about a birthday gift. I read her old posts and want to thank everybody for the suggestions! Thank you!

She took me to my buddy's place today and I picked out the gift! I guess she couldn't keep the secret anymore and decided to let me pick out what I really like ... Had a GREAT time looking at all the masterpieces!

This is what I picked out...

Picture 487.jpg

Well... that's only part of the story... My buddy told us (secretly) he got something yesterday that we have to see... We both told him separately we love that watch... So... the next thing we know... We left with another piece... the one and the ONLY...

Picture 490.jpg

Here is the group picture!

Picture 503.jpg

Best Birthday Gift EVER!

Nice watches, but the photographer sucked! At least we got some hairy arm shots! Will try to take better pictures later!
