Happy 74th Birthday, Dad!

Today is my Dad's 74th birthday. It was many years ago that he was born on the family farm in Swan Lake Township. The story goes that it was over 100 degrees that day. I can't imagine having a baby in a farm home, let alone in extreme heat without air conditioning....or at least a fan! I don't suppose my Grandmother minded too much. They were used to hardship back then and I'm sure she was just so happy to have a healthy baby boy when it was all over. Happy Birthday, Dad! We are thinking of you today and hoping you have many, many more Happy Birthdays. (Olivia was disappointed that she wouldn't be eating birthday cake with you today. We'll have to make up for it when I see you next week.)
