Day Seven-Make a Thing a Day

Yesterday was my husband's birthday. To celebrate, I made him a card....because I was too lazy to leave the house. The joke on the card refers to the following: Last weekend we went to a "Wildlife Encounter" place that seemed to be mostly a zoo. They had a Kiwi house that is kept dark during the day so the nocturnal Kiwi will be out and about during business hours. There was no glass between a visitor and a Kiwi-just a very short wire fence, but there are signs all over saying "Do Not Touch the Kiwi" and "Camera Survalence". I had told my husband that one of my life-long dreams was to hold a Kiwi, so he was already a bit nervous about whether I'd be able to resist or not. Well, I didn't grab up a Kiwi, but when one leaned against the wire fence, I reached down and brushed my fingers across the ends of the feathers that were sticking out. Well, my husband took off-almost running. Guess he thought alarms would go off. Poor guy. What he has to put up with! Anyway, I got away with my crime, but I once again shook his faith in my ability to follow rules.
