Weekly Musings of the 18th - Part 3

 

And so we come to the last part of hubby's birthday the 'No gifts gifts'  Hubby had said to everyone that he had no desire for any gifts as he had all the clothes and things that he could ever want.  All he wanted was to see his brothers and his SIL and their spouses.  

That was kinda out the window.  Everyone found the most fun gifts that he could ever have thought of.  



There were Happy 80th cards aplenty.  His brothers and their wives had a great sweatshirt, glasses and a wonderful carving made by one of the brothers.

Coca Cola of course

Now this correctly written is a French swear but 
broken down it is saying A Bag Rowing

Books from both sides

The carving in the back was by my dad 
and the face by his brother

Now when sister arrived with her hubby there was another bag as the Florida side of the family all wanted to send a little something.  

A favourite band from hubby's youth
(and beyond)

A shirt that says it all

And a hat to match

A niece

The purple card has a lovely note from the other niece. 

And so even though hubby said that no gifts were necessary these gifts just brought a smile to his face.  He loved each and every one of them and each and every moment with everyone.


Although he still doesn't smile much in the morning - LOL.  Happy birthday my love with all my heart. 

Yes he is.
