Slinky tart for the Husband

They're not gray hairs. They're wisdom highlights.

Good morning!

Today is my husband's birthday!

There is a story behind why I purchased this image.

You see, I am blind in my right eye and I always tell my husband someday I am going to get me an eye patch and bling the dickens out of it.

When I saw this image from Slinky Tart, I laughed and laughed ... then I bought the image and made his card! LOL
