We had a marvelous party for Dad's 60th birthday. Those present were: Noel (a surprise visit from England), Lydia, Sydney, Laura, Jason, Mom, (us)- Jackie, John, Gracie, Emma, Clara, and various animals peering in at the windows. We ate a very nice, baked, white choclate cheesecake.
Dad said that when I came around the corner carrying his cake with a 60 on it he was shocked. Even though he knew he was 60 he had, for some reason, expected to see a "40" on his cake.Isn't that a nasty shock on your birthday?
I am, therefore, celebrating Dad's 40th.
He doesn't look a day over 40.
The grand kids tried to give him a 40-year-old workout.
Lydia gave him a nice pair of running shoes and socks and inserts for his shoes, which I assume will help him feel 40 again too!
Laura brought a nice jug of chocolate milk and a black balloon- Perfect for a 40-year-old!
Annie sent me 40 dollars to buy Dad some healthy treats, to keep him forty.
Grandma Roonie, Keith, Sandy and Jim sent me 40 +10 dollars to buy him a healthy fruit basket, or some such snack to keep him happy for the next 40 days.
Thanks Dad for 60 years of perfect service to all of us. You've lived such a life of absolute sacrifice for us. We love you as much as these grand kids appear to, actually more!
