Today was Matt's b-day. He had the day off from work, so he decided to take Alina Jayne fishing with him after his physical therapy appointment this morning.
After his accident, he started going to therapy at a facility I used to refer a lot of patients to when I worked in Family Practice. His therapist (Mike) is THE BEST!
I dropped Alina Jayne off at his rehab appointment this AM on my way to work, and ran into Mike in the parking lot.
Of course I had to inform him that it was Matt's birthday (you don't think HE was going to fess up, do you)? Mike is in a band, and wondered if he should bring his guitar in and sing happy birthday to Matt, which I thought was a splendid idea! Needless to say, Matt was surprised! I'd left my phone in the car, so I asked to use Matt's to "check my voicemail" while I waited for the show to begin. I handed Alina Jayne the phone and had her take the pics-I think she did a great job!
Once we were all home, Alina Jayne and I baked and decorated Matt's cake. She was insistent that he have a STRAWBERRY cake with ORANGE tinted frosting. Okay, she was in charge of the project, whatever she wanted was fine with me. Of course, I think she had more fun licking the beaters and bowl!
Their fishing trip did not result in any "keepers." In 5 1/2 hours of fishing, the only fish caught was a perch too small to keep. No big deal, they had a great time, and I was so happy they could hang out together.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SOULMATE. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!
