Celebrating Dad's birthday

My father was born on July 3, 1926. Really a great time to have a birthday, because we could combine fun time at the lake with a big birthday cake and sparklers. This year, I found a card with a dachsund on the front. The message on the front "This card is short on words," (then open the trifold card and the body of the dog grows), "but long on love." Seems to be a dog theme this year because my brother and my dad's sister gave him cards with dogs! My father has discovered political audio books, so his gift was a political memoir. I went for a visit....my mother became irritable so I invited her for a walk. Actually I walk and she rides in her wheelchair. We headed around the block, and as we were heading for home, who should be cruising down the road but my dad on his blue electric scooter. We greeted a neighbor as he headed off to work. Mission accomplished....mood much improved. A very happy birthday Dad!
