Yesterday was my birthday and I was wonderfully surprised to receive a great many birthday wishes. Several were on Facebook from family and that was cool. Of course I received calls from my Mom and my mom, which is always special.
Alice made the day special with some cute notes around the house and a special birthday dinner of homemade pizza! It was great.
The Blackwell "Clan" sent a nice present of this Clan MacDonald towel. They picked it up on one of their trips to Scotland. It was a wonderful gift. I still have not figured out why the towel is blue and white, I suppose it is for functional purposes, however the clan colors are green, dark blue, and red. Probably not good colors for a towel. Anyway, I am going to frame it and hang it in my study.
The towel lists the "Motto": By Land and by Sea. It also says that Clan MacDonald was "the most renowned clan of the Western Isles." Was there any doubt!! :)Anyway it was a wonderful gift.
Well...reckon I better get after that book reading.
THANK YOU EVERYONE for the wonderful birthday celebration.

I'm glad you liked it. Yeah, all the towels were the same color. It seems like they would have gone with the clan tartan on that...maybe not for a towel???
It was funny, the other morning in church, the man sitting in front of us pulled out a hankie and wiped his nose. Well to my surprise, it was my Clan tartan colors! As we were in our "meet and greet" session, I said to him, "you know you're wiping your nose on my Clan colors?" He laughed and said, "Those are your colors, next time I'll bring mine!"
He must have been Irish! :)
It was quite amusing, at least for me!
