Dad's Big Day - 50 Years as a Priest

This weekend was definitely big for Dad. On Saturday we had family come in and everyone was getting ready for Sunday. I finished the poster of pictures. Mike (my brother) came to town with a video presentation for all to see and the cake was made. All the teenagers went to my sisters to party and spend some time together. Sunday started very early for me. I needed to pick up the cake and get to church by 8:30 am to make sure someone was making coffee. All went well during the service, which was special to honor Dad. He was asked to preach and celebrate. Everyone liked the cake with his picture on top and the poster with all the pictures from the last 50 years of work. Later we went to the party that my Step-Mother threw and had a good time. It was great to also be able to celebrate his 75th birthday, even though it was a little late. In the end we went home and were exhausted for the rest of the evening. Congrates Dad. Can't wait for the next party, at what . . . 60 years?
