Look Who's 90!!

Yes, my dad!! He made it to 90 on Sunday!! He's already started talking about 91! LOL!! And of course he's getting married any day now!! He's given up on Jill--he finally accepted that she is married.  So he set his sights on Bridget, the Irish lady who sits at the same meal time table.  She wants nothing to do with marrying him or anyone else but that doesn't stop my dad!! He sees her smiling at him, and assumes she's ready to get married!! He can't hear anything she says though--many husbands would like that gift!! Or do they employ it even without being deaf??!!

The staff came over to sing Happy Birthday

Anyway, we were going to take my dad out to the Muttart Conservatory, but it snowed in the morning, so we cancelled that.  I baked a chocolate mocha cake with mocha icing and we had a little party at the table with Dzintara, Bridget, and my dad. The staff got pieces of the cake too.


The son-in-law!!! It was so hot on the unit that the butter cream icing was softening up and sliding off the cake!!

Father and daughter!

Readers of my blog and my close friends know that my dad has made my life unhappy many times but I am glad that he's still here and that he made it to his 90th birthday. He's surpassed all members of the Stretch family (his grandfather lived to 89) and now he has to set his sights on the Jamieson/Smyth/McWilliams side--his great grandmother lived to 94). Happy Birthday Father!! ♥♥
