Awesome Dad--101 Years of Age 7-26-2012

 Makes a statement, makes a wish, and blows them out!  Another year for an amazing man.

 My brother, Tim, me and Dad.

 Dad and Mom on his special day.

My daughters, Leta and Beth with their Grandfather.

Another year for a popular and loveable man who wins the heart of everyone he meets.  He has led such a good life and is an inspiration to all of us who love him.

As his nurse was getting him ready for the luncheon on his birthday, he said to her:  This is really a special day for you.  She said:  No, it's a special day for you, your birthday.  No, he says:  It's special for you today because this is the first time you ever put clean underwear on a 101-year-old man....and so it goes.  We love you, Dad.

We have seen so many Sandhill Cranes here in Minnesota.  I have found that here in this state they are more brown than gray and don't seem to be as large as the pair that frequents Sumter Oaks in Bushnell Florida.
