Happy Birthday, Dad! by rhoing

Happy Birthday, Dad!

My Dad celebrated a birthday today. My brother came with his newly-engaged daughter and two sons and Clare & I met Dad at a restaurant to celebrate #81. Not a great shot, but I wasn’t expecting the cake-and-singing by the servers! I thought about posting the shot of my two nephews dividing their portion of the cake in half (“I cut; you choose”) as that was pretty funny, but it’s Dad’s day.

2013 note. This is the second-to-last photo of my dad, http://365project.org/rhoing/365/2012-12-09

Looks like he was enjoying himself! I can see the resemblance from your profile pic!

@sparkleplenty1 Dad *did* have a good time, Joyce. Thanks for noticing that. Actually, I'm said to look more like my mother — she's in three of the photos here, http://365project.org/rhoing/365/2011-08-10 — but of course I don't see it.

@psychographer The only one missing was my sister, but she lives hundreds of miles away. My brother is only an hour away and he's always very accommodating when we drive the 600 miles (965km) to our hometown.

@michelleyoung Thanks, Michelle. This is one I wouldn't have posted a year ago. I wasn't comfortable posting portraits or candids. It's definitely been something I've been trying to work on....
