dad's birthday

my last post mentioned a surprise in store and many of you know what that surprise was... it was a birthday party. SURPRISE! and was he surprised. about 35 of his friends and family came out for the fun. he didn't know what was happening. he thought he was just coming over to our house for a quiet birthday dinner. i will post pictures soon.

so many thanks to all of you who sent cards, letters, flowers, goodies and donated blood. dad said it was his best birthday ever and in all his 80 years, he had never had a surprise party thrown for him!

so happy birthday, dad. you've arrived at 80 with style and class. and we are so glad!

Don and Rachel--

I am SOO glad you get to go w/ grandkids and all away for a while. I do pray you will have a marvelous memory making time that will build your stamina for the radiation to come next month.

blessings to you, dear ones,
