Thinking

When An Old Man Gets to Thinking

Edgar A. Guest

When an old man gets to thinking of the years he's traveled through,

He hears again the laughter of the little ones he knew.

He isn't counting money, and he isn't planning schemes;

He's at home with friendly people in the shadow of his dreams...

Dad's 92nd Birthday

This past Saturday was my Dad's 92nd birthday! We had a family party to celebrate this extraordinary occasion! Mom has been gone a year and a half now. She is greatly missed but it was nice to get together at Dad's home to visit and eat cake together! 

My dad loves chocolate - there is no other flavor of sweets in his book! I made my Chocolate Pound Cake and decorated it with Chocolate Buttercream frosting.  You can get my recipe here. The tissue paper flower on top was a fun little project which brought back memories of making them for dance decorations in the 70's!  

Happy Birthday Dad! I love you always.
