Hi, All,
I'm out of town--visiting my niece Ruth Hamilton (Christie's daughter) who lives in New York City, so I'm just going to give you a very brief report on Dad. He turned 94 last Thursday, and I received two photos of him that I'll put up next time--one shows him smiling happily--the other's so small on my cell phone that I can't tell yet whether it will be worth putting up or not. So check back in two weeks to see the birthday picture(s).
I phoned Dad on his birthday, and he sounded cheerful and aware. When I asked him if he remembered how old he was, he said, "Ninety-four, I think--I can hardly believe it!" I was surprised and pleased that he remembered--at least for the day of his birthday.
The pictures came from my friend's niece who works at the facility. They clearly had a celebration for him--there are balloons, and it looks like he has some special sign or lei or something around his neck. He's grinning at the camera. It's a great picture!
I'll write more in two weeks--and I should have more to report because this week I'm going to visit Dad. (Yes, I have traveled a lot this summer!) I'm hoping to see many others while I'm there too!
Love to all,
Alison
