The bluebirds are nesting…
One week ago, my wonderful grandfather, who we like to call “Bigdad,” turned 80 years old. My poor Mimi (the grandma) said she doesn’t know what to do with someone who’s 80 years old! I told her she should trade him in for two 40-year-olds, but she quickly replied with, “I wouldn’t know what to do with them, either!” Ha!
In honor of my Bigdad’s momentous 80th birthday, I decided to paint him a picture. I haven’t painted in years. He’s a bird lover, like me, so this is what I came up with:
He called me the day he got it to tell me that he not only loved the bluebird I painted for him, but just so happened to be watching two bluebirds build a nest while he was talking to me. Pretty cool, huh?
I love you, Bigdad!!!! Here’s to many many more birthdays with you! Love, Ev

I absolutely love the bird. It seems the kind of animal that is about to do something awesome, but if you look away, you’ll miss it.
