89 years and 1 day!

I didn't get a chance to blog yesterday on the 89th anniversary of my father's birth. So Happy Birthday Dad!

We did get to spend some time with him yesterday and reap some of the benefits of his 89 years of wisdom and learning! I asked him if he remembered his 9th birthday. He said that birthdays weren't much of a big deal with 9 children in the family, but that each birthday there would be that many pennies under his plate at the breakfast table. That was his gift! How things have changed! He said that parties were a real rarity. He also said that sometimes people celebrated their 18th birthday, but he was away at college at the time.

Well, Dad! If you join the blogging world, Happy birthday + 1! I love you!
