It is hard to believe that I have only known this man for just over three years. Somehow we started a tradition for his birthday in me making him pottery pieces.

The first year he must have requested shortly after we met the casserole/casale dishes and by some miracle I finished them in time.

Shortly after his birthday the first year, he put in a request for a jug for “mead”. Yes, he actually said that! My first attempt turned into a gravy boat and this was my second attempt, which he got by his birthday time.

At some point during the year, he actually got a proper size jug, though we never use it because as it turns out this size is big enough to hold probably two bottles of wine, though we only do one at a time. πŸ˜‰

Of course, what should follow a mead jug? Why, mead mugs, of course! Obvi!!!! πŸ˜›

Unfortunately, these are my first attempt and turned out to be various versions of average to large coffee mugs…. πŸ™ So, I am in the midst of making version 2 in hopes that they are a bit bigger – though when I Google sizes, these are not actually that far off. πŸ˜‰

Anyway, yesterday was M’s 46th birthday. He is still a kid at heart, but said that he feels like he is actually in one of the best states that he has been in for many years despite all our stresses. So that is good news. I look forward to at least another 40 more birthdays with this crazy kid.
