HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY
ONE AND ONLY DAD!!
A package came yesterday,and for once it was NOT for me.
It was addressed to my peeps and it was from my human sis and bro-in-law. OMC you should have heard them squeal. My bro-in-law's hobby is wood turning. The package contained a beautiful pen (on the right) he turned out of walnut for my Dad's b-day.Dad absolutely loves it.
There was also an early Mother's Day present for Mom (on the left). Lo and behold it is a hand turned walnut stylus for Mom to use with her iPad.
It has a rubber tip and OMC my bro-in-law put a thingy on it so that it plugs into the headphone part of Mom's iPad. She is in hog heaven. If you aren't from the South, that means she is tickled pink!
You can bigify it for a closer look
Every year around his special day his train brain buddies have a live steam show. Of course, since it is Dad's day the peeps do everything Dad wants to do. Here he is stoking the engine in preparation
for a ride around the track
Dad had a great big smile on his birthday face!!
His buddy Mr. Joe (in the red shirt) owns the train Dad is riding/driving
Special things about my Dad
1. He is my Dad
2. He gives a good tummy rub
3. He makes up songs with my name in them
For instance, Madi, Madi, you are our cat, but you are not a fat cat...
He sings these songs to the tune of whatever is playing on the radio.
4. He lets me count while he does (100) push ups.
5. He lets me sit on the counter while he shaves and while he takes a shower
I never ever in 10 years have stayed with Mom while she showers!!
Update on my Grandpa Peep: The stomach tube came out at 7pm on Wednesday.
He had is first soft meal (jello, broth, orange slushy) at Noon on Thursday.
On Thursday his doctor said we'll see how today goes and talk more tomorrow.
Thank you all very very much for all your prayers,purrs,barks and words of encouragement this last week.
Happy Birthday Madi's Dad! Glad your Grandpa Peep is a bit better! BK
