The Perfect Birthday Gift: A Shower Curtain

Yes, a shower curtain is a perfect birthday gift.

Especially when the recipient is sixty, loves waterscapes, and will be moving into a townhome where she will have a bathroom of her own.


One's own bathroom probably doesn't sound like a great luxury. But I raised six kids (so a total of eight people) in a house with only one bathroom.

And then when we moved to Channahon, that single bathroom was also shared with up to three stepchildren.

In fact, we never had a "two bathroom" option (and the Channahon bathroom was small - not even large enough for a bathtub. It had a tiny freestanding shower thgat blocked the tiny window) until we began The Higher Ark, a youth group for our church, and the village allowed us to put a porta potty in the backyard on a semi-permanent basis (i.e. seven years).

That porta potty was a real blessing in the last weeks when the well failed, and we had eight people in the home for two weeks without running water or septic while we rehomed everyone.

So this shower curtain...and hooks, and liner...


...and soap dish...



...for the soap Rebekah bought for me a few weeks ago as a "just because" gift...is just perfect for me.
