One of the Octogenarians in our Family


Yesterday was Dad's 81st bday. Stan's 3 kids, along with our sister Janet & took Dad to the pool for an afternoon swim. What a fun way for him to enjoy his grandchildren while Mom was out of town. I love my Dad so much. He's very active still - no moss growing under his rocker. I gave him a call to wish him my best and he'd just finished a TV dinner of his choice. He seemed to be ok with that and so I had to be as well.

  1. I was wondering what an octogenarian was! That's good that he is so active and healthy. Dads are wonderful and I'm glad that you have a good one.
