Happy Birthday, Dan!

 

Today is our son-in-law Dan's birthday.  He was a young pup when we first met him (when he showed up at our house to date our daughter).  I would say he has aged well over the decades since he and Steph have been married.  Joan and I couldn't love him more if he was our own son.

OK, enough of the mushy stuff.  Steph apparently posted something on Facebook regarding Dan's birthday... something that set Joan off in a fit of laughter like I haven't heard in a while.  Literally, she was having trouble catching her breath she was laughing so hard.  It wasn't anything Steph said about Dan in her post, but rather one of the images she posted...


"Nice face on that photo-bomb!" she gasped out between the laughter.

Just doing my part to keep America safe for democracy and bring a smile (or hysterical laughter) to my lovely wife's face.  She turned on her printer and that image now dominates the front of our refrigerator.

 

You'd think after all these years, she would know my willingness to overshare and ability to "enhance" an image.

Paybacks are... well, you know.  ;-)

We will have Dan's birthday celebration this evening.  Joan is cooking as I write this.  Nice that we can all be together for this occasion when he gets close to bidding adieu to his 40s.

Dan requested Joan's spaghetti and meatballs for his birthday meal; and since they did cake at his office, we did rootbeer floats for dessert.  And presents and cards.  Tasha was guarding the presents so Dan wouldn't peek...


Murphy got to come with us to Steph and Dan's house, so he got time with their orange boy Tango.  And Dan got to open presents...


A nice evening - Happy Birthday once more, Dan!

Happy B-day Dan. And many more. It's good that Murphy got to visit his cousins too. Win-win.

Yes, it was a nice evening. Murphy and Tango are cute together. And Dan gets a start on this next trip around the sun.
