Dad's favorite table in the dining room at memory care.
I arranged for a pet sitter to hang out with Studio Dog today. The rest of my small family had to go to work. I hopped in my car and headed to San Antonio. Today is my father's 91st Birthday and I wanted to be there to celebrate with him. I got a chocolate cake (his favorite) and my sister shopped for great presents to give him. We had birthday cards to share from friends and relatives. I don't normally take a big camera into his residence because of concern for HIPAA laws but I did take in my iPhone and did a few interviews with my dad as well as documenting him blowing out the candles on his cake.
I left around three this afternoon. All the big action was over and Dad decided it was time for a nap. I wanted to get home and make a photo gallery to send to my sister and brother.
It's an ancient iPhone by current standards; a 5S. But it works well enough for most uses...
My dad was happy and well. I can't ask for more. I drove home pretty happy. Indulge me for a few personal images.....
It's rare to see Dad without a hat of some sort.
And balloons.
lungs still good enough to blow out candles.
