Saturday, February 18th we all gathered in La Sal for an early celebration for Dad’s 80th birthday. It was so fun to see family and friends that have not been seen for many years.
We had a luncheon for the family in the early afternoon and then in the evening there was the open house for the community to come and give well wishes to this fine gentleman.
There are lots of pictures and picking just the favorites would not be easy so bear with me as I share this day with you.
This was such an enjoyable time spent honoring my father and remembering good times with him. I love my father very much and cherish my time spent with him as I was growing up. He taught us many things, which are exemplified through his children.
Dad was born 12:10 am on February 29, 1932 and his mother cried and cried because her baby boy would not have a birthday every year. The kind doctor changed the time to 11:10 pm on February 28th to easy my grandmother’s anxiety. So every year we celebrate on the 28th, but on leap year we have two birthdays for Dad. One is on the 28th and the second one is held on the 29th.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD.
