It was my dad’s 60th birthday today and the family and some friends joined him at my parent’s home for an afternoon of food and fun to celebrate.  So, actually, this was my 67 minutes… because the family hardly ever gets together like this.  I’ll do a charitable 67 minutes another day

My brother Carl (of the medical poetry fame) taking his nut very seriously

Terry who is visiting from Columbia at the moment

Bacon wrapped cherries braaiing on my dad’s new Weber

… and my dad’s cousin Dave and his wife (who live in Zimbabwe)

This was too funny, she would shut her eyes every time the ball came close to her

Because Terry was around, my mom had to make her famous chocolate eclairs for dessert

Connor was the “Bafama Bafama” goalie for the day


Connor was trying to work out the numbers, and eventually decided that dad was 16!! He was delighted

It was an awesome day with my family

Happy 60th Birthday Dad!
