I gave a 2 1/2 inch double-headed battle axe pendant on a heavy chain to Priscilla. And this story:
And in those days it happened that raiders fell upon the homestead of a wife and her husband, four raiders engaging the husband and two the wife.
The husband defended with spirit, but he was of an age and soon given out. Whereupon a raider knocked the husband in the head and the four did bind him with bindings.
The wife, upon seeing her husband knocked in the head and bound, did know a great wrath, and shouting a great shout, with her shovel she dispatched the two raiders within her reach. Then, seizing a double-headed battle axe from one of the dispatched, the wife, with another great shout, fell with anger upon the four raiders who had bound her husband after knocking him in the head.
The raiders did attempt defense, but in vain. Wielding her battle axe, the wife quickly dispatched two raiders, whereupon a third did say to the fourth: Whoa, dude! It perhaps behooves us to flee these environs. And flee they did.
The wife then attended her husband, who slowly recovered from being knocked in the head. The husband saw the results of his wife-s courage and said, Damn, wife! Who taught you to fight like that?
The wife only smiled and kissed her husband-s bald head and gathered his head to her bosom.

Happy birthday, Priscilla.
