Happy Birthday, Bud!

Today would have been my father-in-law's 78th birthday.  He passed away a year and a half ago, and we still miss him terribly.  My husband is spending the day with his mother and brother, and he is bringing this with him to give to his mother.

This looks a little bit distorted because I had to tip the painting downward to photograph it without glare.


It is an oil painting that my very-talented husband did from an old photo of his father and our youngest daughter, taken in the backyard of my in-laws' former house.  I love this photo, but I now love this painting even more.

I know that my mother-in-law will love it, too.

Happy Birthday, Dad!  We sure wish you were here.

Love,
Connie

P.S.  This weekend was an exhausting blur, and I have so much to show you.  We'll do that tomorrow.

and ... don't forget to enter my tile tray giveaway, if you haven't already.  I am really enjoying getting to know all of you!
