That fly needs to be framed, because it's artwork at it's finest. That fly would surely make Mona Lisa smile.

Betty is going to love it.

Betty does love it!

She is 92 years young and is sharp as a tack with a great sense of humor. I didn't frame it, but in her unit she has a North facing window wall with a ledge full of memorabilia. i just added this to the collection...

My wife suggested I tie a new fly to go with Betty's valentine cookies we are taking over tomorrow. :)

So here is #2:
Alec Jackson #2 tied with FL Pink UTC 140, a Gold Holo Tinsel Tag, Red Ostrich Butt, Alec Jackson Red Silk ribbed by Oval Silver French Tinsel, Red and Pink Whiting American Hen Saddle hackles followed by a yellow and red topping.

What a cheerful pattern! It brought a smile to my face, and I am sure Betty's too. Cookies and art. What lovely way of saying you each care. You've got a kind heart Bill. ;)
