We had my Dad's birthday today. I really cannot believe he made it another year with all of this health problems. His 80th birthday! He came up with my sister Terri who flew in from Scottsdale. She is well like by the girls and is an avid and accomplished sewer. She raved over Rachel's skirt and thought their work was good! She especially like the finished seams! She says most people just leave them rough and it is better work to finish them. Go M!
For the man who has it all, (or more aptly doesn't want anything) we decided to paint pictures on some handkerchiefs that he uses. We were going to iron on some monograms but they were way too pricey. So after going to three stores looking for the iron ons and finally finding them at Michael's, we ran into the fabric paint and ta da! Excellent idea if I do say so myself. We all had a good laugh over the visual of his blowing his nose into their pictures.
The girls made him a carrot cake and he had two pieces! We got him some big band music, a couple of movies and a shirt as well. He wasn't feeling very good after suffering a fall last week so they didn't stay very long but I think it was a good thing we did it. He's a pretty good guy and tough as he is, he seemed to really enjoy the company and K who TOTALLY flirted with him the whole time.
