A Gift

I first attended Bastyr University's Annual Herb & Food Fair in 2006. I sampled wheat free cookies, soaked my feet in a yummy smelling herb potion and perused the book store.
While flipping through the pages of a two-inch-thick cook book, I chatted with a student volunteer, "Mary", who was in her final year of the Nutrition program.

Mary mentioned she was saving for that cook book. I got that intuitive tingle to buy it for her. She was shocked and stuttered "What's this for?" Happy Birthday I told her. "How did you know it was my birthday tomorrow?" I laughed and said enjoy it, and then wandered off to eat more cookies.
