Happy 70th Dad



My Dad 70?!  I know it's so cliche to say I have the best dad, but honestly I do. 

Today is my dad and his twin brother's birthday.  They are 70! WOW!!! Happy Birthday Dad and Uncle Harold!

I have never met anyone so caring and generous as my dad. He has the heart of gold and takes amazing care of his wife, 6 daughters and 2 sons.  He has always taught me that anything is possible and I love him for that.  Sorry we can't be there to celebrate with you, but remember you moved out of California first..... :)


I love you Dad! Happy 70th! And here's to many, many more years.


***Being so far away it's hard to celebrate but I wanted to do something special. I stumbled upon a friend's blog who had executed the perfect birthday plan for her dad.  The idea was simple. Mail out 70 postcards to family and friends.  Have them write a memory and return the postcard on his birthday.  I know the postcards are trickling in now and my dad is loving it. So thanks to all of you who participated.***
