What have I done for someone today?
Have I done any good in the world today?
You will never regret a kind deed done to someone in need.

Happy Birthday to Gaffa!

We were also able to celebrate a special occasion - my dad (Gaffa) turned 80! We celebrated like we usually do - with streamers in the dining room and pancakes for breakfast!


Gaffa had special pancakes because he has celiac disease,
so I bought a gluten free pancake mix!
He really enjoyed them because he doesn't have them very often.
And we had ice cream, of course!
What a treat for a special birthday!

He enjoyed telling stories.
We call them doedoes - 
and he makes them up on the spot
and never repeats them
and they are always special!




Grammy and Xiomara made his special cupcakes!

They also made two types of frosting - 
german chocolate and chocolate cream cheese!



Kemiah crocheted him an alien!


Emily and Marissa made him a felt alien!


What a fun day we had with Gaffa! So glad we could have him here for his birthday. He is 80. My oldest sister is now 50, and my youngest sister is 40! So crazy that time just keeps marching on. They were together 10 years ago to celebrate together and it seems like that just happened a couple years ago. Wow! Pay attention or time just passes without noticing!
