Happy Birthday, Tim . . . and Thank You

I am in the process of designing and constructing a quilt for my sister, so I have nothing new to report.  I have been working on a few UFOs when I come to a creative block.  I will keep you posted and show some pictures.

So, I will take this opportunity to give a nod to my husband, Tim.  Tim is very supportive of my quilting hobby (more like obsession).  As I am supportive of his biking hobby (also more like obsession).  He doesn't really complain when I come home with an enormous bag of new fabric, as the reverse is true when he needs new biking gear.  I go to quilt retreats.  Tim goes on rides.  Long, long rides.  He has a 150 mile ride for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society coming up in just a couple of weeks.

Recently Tim, turned 50.  (By the way, I am much, much, much younger than Tim.  That's the story I'm going with anyway.)  Brandon and I threw him a 50th Birthday party.  It turned out to be a little larger than expected, and we all had great fun.  We requested that the invitees not bring gifts as we knew Tim would rather enjoy the day with people he cares about than getting more "stuff".  However, he did get one gift from Brandon, which I would like to share with you.

If you have 8 minutes, please enjoy this video that Brandon made for his father for his 50th Birthday.  There wasn't a dry eye in the house.  Those who know Tim know that there is nothing more important in Tim's life than Brandon.  So, for Tim this is the best gift he has ever gotten . . . ever.


So, I post here and now, Happy Birthday and thank you to my husband Tim, for our beautiful son, for our many adventures, and for all he does.
