Today is Joe's Birthday

Today my husband turns 53. I bought him a 20 year old bottle of port, and I had a picture of myself enlarged for him. I know that sounds vain, but he had been bugging me for that for ages. It was a picture he took of me on our trip to Nova Scotia in 2007, and for some reason he really loves it..

I also did that on-line picture-book of our most recent trip, but I ordered it late and it is not here yet. I'm anxious to see how it comes out. If I like it, I think I will do a book of my quilts. It will be my own personal monograph!

But back to Joe, I discovered that he shares a birthday with the Sufi poet and mystic Rumi. I found this out on the Floating Ink blog. Check out this post to read a very beautiful poem, which I will now have to share with Joe.
