"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
I'm making a card for Traveling Willy and will be adding as many names from the forum as I can get on the page. Of course I'll go through all his travel threads and include all the names I see.
I wanted all of you to be included in his birthday celebration when he gets back here today.

Before I show the pictures of the birthday party, I want to show the pictures of Traveling Willy's boat ride. It was not a paddle wheeler as I first thought but a steamship instead. The name of the boat is The Spirit of Jefferson beacuse Louisville is in Jefferson County.
The day was windy and my daughter did not want TW to fall over board so she only got two pictures.
The first is a closeup in his chair and the second is TW and the view he had while sitting in the chair turned correctly.

As I said before, TW was with my daughter so we, (the other gnomes and I) had time to plan a surprise party. here they are with everything set up. They worked very hard on the surprise signs.
I told TW I had a surprise for him and told him he had to wear a blindfold. He wasn't happy about that since he had never done it before but he agreed.
I case you are wondering: the gnomes at my house are very proud that they live in Oldham County KY and wanted to share that with you.

TW has never been soo surprised. In fact he fell over from all the excitment!

When I asked the gnomes on the planning committee what kind of cake to have they isisted I have a Hostess SuzyQ. They said that is the height of gnome loved cakes. So that what I got.
After TW recovered I expained that I was very sorry not the have 203 candles and he reassured me that he did not want 203 candles. In fact, he said that 203 candles could be a fire hazard!!!
He told me he wanted only 1 candle. Why, I asked. Because this is the first birthday party he has ever had and wanted to celebrate with one candle for that reason. It was my turn to be surprised and readily agreed.
He asked the other gnomes to gather round to help him blow it out and they happily complied.

The other gnomes quickly showed TW his card. Oh, he exclaimed. All my friends here and on the garden forum too. This is wonderful!!!!

As the party progressed a stranger appeared. Who is it? All those inquiring minds wanted to know.
It's Cousin Fred, all the way from the mountains! TW and Fred have not seen each other for over 100 years. The tears were flowing.

As the party wound down, TW asked for one last picture with him and Fred. Cousin Fred has to leave and return to the montains soon. This is the last picture of the party, all the gnomes are tired and have gone to bed.
