80 Years Young

The comedy book I gave Alan for 80 year olds does not remotely  mirror his life but it was funny all the same

I congratulated him on 'getting there' but also said 'it was too soon'

How could my young and handsome husband be 80!! 

Here we see his birthday cake at the party I put on for him

In case you wondered, it is a golf bag

Making life easy with a cold buffet

we were very blessed to have guests contribute food

and I bought lots of delicious desserts that I forgot to photograph

He enjoyed an evening with friends and our children and grandchildren

Some quick random shots around the house - hopefully unobserved

Bekah wants to be involved in the cutting of the cake

The feedback today was that everyone enjoyed just being together while chatting and sharing a meal amidst an enjoyable and peaceful atmosphere

The above is the basis of a card I made for him with a few glimpses of his life

His main presents were a laptop and kindle and some money to treat himself (a very difficult thing for Alan to do)
