Dad's 60th Birthday Party
This week was Dad's 60th Birthday, and we celebrated today. Cade was in charge of the food, Cheryl sent out the invitations, Erin took care of decorations, Mom and Bev got the pictures in photo albums, and I took the pictures. It was really a family affair!
Of course, we couldn't have celebrated without friends and family, and we were able to welcome some very good and longtime friends to our celebration, as well as some out-of-town family. Dad seemed to have a good time and participated in conversations with the guests. He might not have always been aware that the hoopla was for him, but he definately enjoyed the party. It's nice to know that it doesn't take fancy gimmicks or games to make a good party--Good food and good friends make for good times.
Here's a roll call of our guests. I think I captured at least one shot of everybody. Many others sent cards and warm birthday wishes to Dad, and we're so thankful for all the love we have from all of you. Even if you didn't get to come today, here's hoping you still feel a part of the celebration!

There is a time for everything,
a season for every activity
under heaven. A time to be
born and a time to die. A
time to plant and a time to
harvest. A time to kill and
a time to heal. A time to
tear down and a time to
rebuild. A time to cry and
a time to laugh. A time to
grieve and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones
and a time to gather stones.
A time to embrace and a
time to turn away. A time to
search and a time to lose.
A time to keep and a time to
throw away. A time to tear
and a time to mend. A time
to be quiet and a time to
speak up. A time to love
and a time to hate. A time
for war and a time for peace.
May this be
your time to laugh,
embrace & receive
personal peace,
Dr. Howdy
Tamara, Thank you for the wonderful job you did in covering our Celebration of Dad's Birthday. I don't guess I have anything to add. It was a great time and I know Dad enjoyed it. Thanks to everyone who came, because, like Tamara said, it wouldn't have been much of a celebration without our friends. We love you all.
