My Photo
Midland, Texas, United States
My name rhymes with "Lisa," I live in Midland, Texas, because it's warm and the mortgage is cheap, and of course this is my natural hair color. Of course! The EGE--The Ever-Gorgeous Earl--is my husband of 35 years. I have the best job in the world because I get to call up artists and ask them nosy questions and then write about them. I also stitch, podcast, blog, and then, in my spare time, do it all some more.

Happy Birthday to My April Fool's Day Baby!

 No, this isn't one of those blog posts ostensibly "to" someone who won't ever actually read it. You know, like posted for public consumption, not actually for the person? Nope--The Ever-Gorgeous Earl reads these every night, reads the comments, follows the links so we both know the same stuff--it's why I subbed at the school where he taught, so we'd know the same people and events and stuff. So, yeah, this message really is for him, with some of my favorite eye candy photos tossed in because, gee, he's nice to look at. I couldn't say that if I were his momma, because then I'd be boasting. But I had nothing to do with his being cute. Well, except for the hand-dyed clothes, but who cares about those?

Alles gute zum Geburtstag Earl!

What a fun day to have a birthday.

And thanks for sharing him Rice, you two are a beautiful couple.

There's no question this man is easy on the eyes, but personally I think he was looking his best in your journaled tunic! The day I saw that photo was the day I fell in love with him too. Any man who supports his woman's work is TOPS in my book!!

Best wishes to you both for a fabulous year,

Happy Birthday! Earl you are so handsome. I love how you give Ricë her creative space in your home! I think you should write a book "Living with a Creative." I can see tons of creatives buying it to give to their spouses!

I love that you work on knowing what each other knows! Happy (Belated) Birthday, Earl, you wear the hand dyed clothes well.

Pshaw! Bad pictures! He's MUCH better looking in real-life and thank you, Lord, for giving me that delight. (noticing below that my captcha word is "cheat" - and knowing that someone as G as E is has to definitely be a male form of catnip...)
