The second cake on the official birthday with the extended family.

Son-in-law wearing the necklace that Daughter 1 had just given me. Fetching.
Daughter 1 reading paper after the guests had gone. Restful.
Recycled birthday badge. Don't know why it decided to post itself sideways. Sometimes my technical incompetence surprises even me.

Happy Belated birthday Mr. Life! Look at all those yummy cakes. And I forgot to mention, having lived in Germany 25 years ago, that we have those same butchered German conversations in our house too!
ReplyDeleteHe looks very happy to be so celebrated. Happy birthday to him.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Mr. Life.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the photos - what a delightful looking bunch your family are!
What wonderful happy photos! It seems as though Mr Life is still enjoying the festivities!
ReplyDeleteDo not speak to me about blogger. It has decided it has a mind of its own.
Oh, just BLESS you ALL.

The second cake on the official birthday with the extended family. What a lovely photograph of Mr Life with the second cake! I don't know if the camera lies, but he looks so relaxed; a very warm and gentle looking person. Your family must be a great joy to you.
ReplyDelete2 cakes. Got to be happy with that!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see your family photos. Looks like a great time was had.
ReplyDeleteHe must have heard that "Sixty is the new Forty!" He wears his years very gracefully....Here's wishing him many more!
ReplyDeletelooks like good fun for one and all!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Mr Life!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you all had fun. I don't see any pics of Mrs Life??
Looks like you had a great time - Happy birthday to Mr. Life!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday, Mr. Life! (Just what he wants to here from a total stranger.)
ReplyDeleteMarvelous photos. I loved seeing your family and the slice of life.
Hear. I meant hear, not here.
ReplyDeleteDidn't you know that 60 is the new 40? Well,,,even if it isn't it's better than the alternative, right? I celebrated mine recently, too, and figured you can't fight it so you might as celebrate big. And I did!
ReplyDeleteSo Happy Birthday Mr. Life! May there be many many more.
Happy Birthday and many, many more! That cakes looks quite delish.
ReplyDeleteA very happy belated birthday to your Ross! Aren't we lucky to both have one? :) Yours looks very sweet in these lovely photos, and so does the rest of your family.
ReplyDeleteI'm here to take you up on your offer of switching lives...I have sciatica at the moment after hurting my back digging something up last Saturday...so I'll gladly change places with you. Still want to? I think marking exams might be kind of fun right now. Does that give you an indication of how much fun sciatica is?
We're getting some very welcome rain this morning and it sounds wonderful on the roof...so there is that benefit :) Plus, we've had a Baltimore Oriole singing his beautiful song to us in the 2 large Maple trees all week long, so there's no need to turn the radio on for music.
P.S. I'm used to elderly men, so that wouldn't be a problem ;) I think my Ross would enjoy your accent and sense of humour :)
