For the past few years, Mom has joked that she starts celebrating her birthday two weeks before her actual birthday. Last year, the final count was six official birthday meals at a restaurant during the two-week celebration. Add to that I think two or three cakes, and you've got an event to equal the Derby Festival celebration.
Not wanting this year's birthday to be any different, we kicked off Minnie's Birthday Extravaganza in our typical high style. Dad and I flew under the radar and headed over across the bridge to The Concrete Lady and picked out this cool fountain for Mom's birthday. Actually, we intended on just window shopping today. We were going to narrow our choices down to 3 or 4, and then come home and make our final choice. But in my typical got-to-have-it-now style, we agreed on this fountain and bought it. I bet The Concrete Lady doesn't have too many customers hauling home a good-sized concrete fountain in the back of a BMW. But we got it home and set up with no complications. Needless to say, Mom was very surprised. And as you can see in the second picture, Rocky thinks he has a new water fountain.

The Concrete Lady is great. How we got a life size statue of David home in a mini van is beside me but we did it and he proudly stands guard of the backyard. I didn't realize until months afterwards that he was anatomically correct in the mid region which created a potential problem for the highly religious population in my neighborhood. He still proudly stands but shrouded with a pair of black Joe Boxers around his size 29 inch waist. On behalf of all TWIT readers, we wish Miss Minnie a happy birthday and know that she will have years of enjoyment with her new high quality fountain from the Concrete Lady.
My first choice of fountains was the little boy peeing, but I knew Minnie and Bud would not have any part of that.
