This collaboration in words and pictures brings forth a love letter that is culturally and artistically unique. INTRODUCTORY In 2008, when Ernest's seventieth birthday was approaching, I wanted to do something special to mark the occasion. I surreptitiously took photos, wrote vignettes, and brought the compilation to Office Max for a specialist to figure out how to put the whole thing together. The specialist created a spiral-bound book. When I presented it to Ernest on his birthday, he cried. He said it was the nicest present he had ever received. How could I not love a guy who cries with appreciation for my handiwork? At the start of 2018, I suggested to Ernest that he make a book with photographs of some of his paintings as gifts for our friends, children, and grandchildren. He demurred. A month later he came to me with a book mock-up based on the spiral-bound gift. He had changed out some of the paintings (Those older ones are so primitive.), corrected my grammatical hiccups, and had prepared it to be published with a true spine! He was too modest to publish a book of his art but was willing to share with me the creation of this book, revised and expanded, in honor of his Eightieth. Have I said that I love this guy?
