My Dad celebrated his 80th birthday in October a few days after the weekend of Canadian Thanksgiving, so we were able to travel to Grand Rapids to celebrate with him and other family. We had dinner at Tom and Mel's. Dad looks a little bemused by all the fuss -- he's not much of one for what he would regard as a fuss -- and then there were 2 or 3 candles on his cake that he couldn't blow out. Apparently there are joke candles that can't be blown out. Bob finally "pinched" out the last flame! It was good to be able to go and honour my Dad and to celebrate him.
