I think this event is worth celebrating, that is why I tried to think ahead and do some special things for my man. Tried being the operative word....
A few years ago I made Bill a silk pillow case. He loved it so much that he took it everywhere (even Scout Camp). After a few years of wear it looks like this (both sides):

One of Bill's pieces of art was personally chosen by Richard Schmid to be in a 2 page spread of Art Connoisseur magazine (Bottom right):


I had ordered the back issue of Art Connoisseur (July/Aug 2009) a few weeks ago, which was good because they sent the July/Aug 2008 issue instead. I was able to call and let them know they sent the wrong one, and the day before yesterday I finally received the envelope to correct their mishap. I opened it up to find the current (Jan/Feb 2010) issue. I almost cried. I called again, they're sending the right one out (so they say), but it won't be here in today for his birthday....grrrr!!
So I'm hoping to make a fabulous meal to make up for my lack of fabulous gifts:
Almond crusted salmon
Sourdough baguettes
Steamed broccoli with pearl onion sauce
Roasted mini herbed potatoes
and Ice cream cake
If any of it turns out I'll share recipes & pics....

So frustrating when good plans get foiled by others. Happy Birthday to Bill.
