I had the tables turned on me tonight.

[Betty Hiner]

I received the biggest surprise of my life tonight ... bar none!

Tonight at fly tying group Tim asked what I thought about a rod ... a beautiful bamboo 7'4# rod ... that he had with him. I drooled all over it, told him it was beautiful ... and he said, that it was good I liked it because it was mine. He and the other four fellows (my boys!) bought it for me for my birthday! I'm still , 2 hours later, stuttering and stammering around! They said I was always doing something for them, it was time they did something for me.

I loves my boys! I will never be able to adequately thank them for their kindness and generosity. So here's a pubic thank you to all of them. You are ever so special to me.
Love and big hugs,
Betty

What a great gift! And Happy Birthday Betty! I still tie up Betty Blues and Dark Bettys (the snipe and blue, and a starling and royal blue) and use them as some of my go to patterns.
