Last year for my father’s birthday we had a couple of surprises in store for.  First, after church on Sunday, we had a special gathering of cousins some of which traveled quite a ways to be there (Roma came in from Texas!). 

Then on his birthday the next day, I left for work as usual, but instead of going to City Hall, I drove to the Burbank Airport to pick up Sydney Rose.  Boy was he surprised to see her walk in the door! We hung out all day and had a love dinner at Aloha.
