Happy Birthday, Bop!
December 22, was a milestone birthday for Bop: he turned 70! I know, worth celebrating, right? So we baked a cake, with buttercream icing, no less. That Bop is 2000 kilometres away in the warm climes of Florida didn't slow us for a moment. We thought, it's the thought that counts! And if he's too far away to enjoy the yummy goodness, well, I happen to know two teenage boys with large appetites, particularly for cake with buttercream icing. We dialed up Skype and sang our hearts out and Bop blew out the candles long-distance. I hope this was the happiest of days, Bop/Dad!
Bop had a fantastic day! Starting with a book he has wanted to read, phone calls from youngest son and brother in law, sister in law and one old friend. Next a game of bocce followed by free lunch at Denny's for his birthday. He got a swim in then double chocolate bundt cake shared with a group of friends from our park. After super a game of bingo and finally a video of K singing and M playing the piano. does life get any better - Bop know birthdays sure do. thanks to a wonderful family.
