Who's that handsome Fellow????

If you don't know who this is let me give you a guess. It is who this whole blog is about.
So here is the skinny on this new look. We recently got Dad to start using his electric razor by himself. Before Jeremiah kept teasing Dad that if he helped Dad out he would shave the whole thing off. Dad would usally respond with a look of 'yeah go right on ahead'. Well one evening Mom gave Dad his electic razor and left the bathroom to get some things done. Upon returning she found Dad with chunks missing from his mustache.
Mom responded with a "John what did you do" .
Dad responded with a "giggle giggle giggle".
Mom spent a good part of a half an hour shaving off the rest. When Jeremiah and I returned for running an errand, Dad was beaming with his new look. He had a good laugh as I, who don't remember ever seeing my father with out a mustache or a beard, couldn't stop staring at him. And all the kids responses. Michael has let Grandpa know that he does not like his new look. I think it is very becoming of him. And really shows off how much weight he has lost.

The Big 70

Yes that is right. Dad turn 70 today. The big event that happened today was my sister Carrie flew in from Philadelphia. We had a simple dinner of split pea soup and homemade rolls (Dad was very excited to get this meal). We are waiting to have the big party on Saturday, when more family will be here. I will post pictures of the big party.
People who where born the exact same day as Dad
Baseball player Billy Bryan (MLB)
American political figure, Andre Verne Marrou affiliated with the Libertarian Party.
2 day after Dad was born, Franco-German peace declaration signed.
I tried finding out more interesting things that happened the day Dad was born but this is all I could find. So I guess it is easliy declared that on December 4 1938 the most exciting thing that happened was my Dad was born. And on his 37 birthday he got the best gift he could ask for, a baby girl, my big sister Julia.
Happy Birthday to two very special people in my life.

More updates to come.

I am sorry for not posting much lately. I have a lot to put up but I just haven't found the time. I will as soon as things settle down a bit (if they ever settle down).
