Family doings – my father’s 95th birthday

Dormgrandpop readers will know something of my father, who remains physically strong, witty and wise as he enters his 96th year. My brother and his wife drove him to DC. They spent the day sightseeing and then spent the evening and a leisurely breakfast with us in the country. The breakfast menu was plentiful high cholestoral - the sort of Sunday breakfast feast on which we thrived as children.

A 95th birthday celebration with a parent who is alive, well and in good health is a rare gift – and one to be treasured.
