We went to see Dad yesterday on his 92 nd. He was sitting by the nurses station chatting away and was happy to see us. He was wearing a striped polo tucked into his jeans (where did they come from? I didn't buy them) and looking very cool albeit a little bit heavier all around. The lady with the harp appeared and played the Marine Corps Hymn for him. He ate a large chocolate chip cookie and was very receptive to that. Always asks me a lot of questions, very intent, wish I knew what he was saying. I always try to respond by my expression, not vocally since he isn't hearing that. At one point Jim moved around in front of him in the chair and he said "where did you come from?" We all had a good laugh, pretty good birthday, he looks good! As we were walking out to the car I said to Jim that I think hes going to make 100 and Jim suggested by that time he and I would be in the line-up with him. We hoped that one of our grandchildren would come and feed cookies to all of us.

Nice birthday photos. The guy is looking good. He seems to get younger each year.
I agree. . .he does look younger. Does the stress of WORK make us look/feel older than we are? If we slow down, can we recapture some of our youth? Hmmmm. . .
