It’s a special day here today, and if you’re curious about what that might be, you could take a peek back through the years: here orhere orhere or way back here in this blog’s first month.
I’m afraid I haven’t time to explain much more than that, but I can tell you that it has something to do with this fellow. . .
Have to run, though. Not sure what the day’s plans are, but I know we’re not going to let any big numbers slow us down. . .
What a gorgeous husband! Happy birthday Pater! I love that photo with the grandkids.
He's pretty cute, eh?
Oh! What a cuddly photo with the little ones! Enjoy the birthday together! There are advantages to that special age and it doesn't seem so old anymore. Pater looks very handsome in the photo.
He's not sure he wants to enjoy those advantages, but we'll see . . . ๐
Happy birthday to Pater!
Enjoy the day together

Hi Dottoressa …I'm sure Frances won't mind me adding this ๐ We arrived in Pittsburgh yesterday and I read that it's "sister city" is Zagreb!Then when we were in Quebec I spent some time in a lovely store that sold clothes, household accessories, stationary etc all in a fresh nautical blue and white! I wish I had space in my luggage! Apparently it was from Croatia!! The only one in Canada and the US. I'm afraid I can't remember the name though although I have a card in my bag at the hotel!
Hope you're having a good week!
Rosie
I don't mind at all! So fun to watch these conversations emerge. . .
Rosie,so glad you like it ๐
Thank you so much!
So,you'll have to plan some space in your luggage when visiting Croatia ๐
I think I know the brand,they even had a store in Makarska,I forget the name,have to ask ๐
Enjoy your holidays!

Happiest of Birthdays to Pater!
Happy Birthday Pater …enjoy your special day!! Lovely pictures!
Hi Frances ..sorry it's been so long! I'm way behind on commenting but up to date on reading your posts …enjoying them as always!
We re still travelling and I've had problems with my eye which really affected reading and writing for a few weeks but hopefully it's starting to settle.
Take care …have a wonderful time celebrating with Pater and your family.
Rosie
No need to apologise and never an obligation to comment! So glad your travels are going well.
Happy birthday to your handsome and brilliant spouse!
He likes the adjectives! ๐
Happy Birthday Pater! I so enjoyed the vignettes through the years. Thanks for sharing those looks back. Have a wonderful day and best wishes for the future!
Thanks for saying that, Beth — I wasn't sure I should include them, but it was fun for us to look back.
Wishing Pater a very Happy Birthday! Enjoy your day together.
Tillykke med fรธdselsdagen to Pater!!!
I'll let him read this one — not sure I could pronounce it aloud! ๐
Please wish Paul a very Happy Birthday from both of us! I hope we can manage to get up that way to visit you all again before more years go by…
Thanks Sue! I hope so as well…
Happy Birthday Pater!
Hope Pater celebrated the happiest of birthdays! X
I hope Paul's day was wonderful! Celebrating a milestone with two grandbabies on your lap enjoying a good book is pretty good way to start! Jenn
Have a lovely time celebrating. That picture of the readers is perfect. I cannot understand why people can't find the time to do this more often.
We're very lucky in our family to come from a reading culture. I think for those who don't, it's not as easy to know how to choose books to entice little ones into the happy reading moments that lead to more. . . But once you experience a moment like this, it's pretty addictive, right?
Thank you all for the lovely birthday wishes which I have bundled together and tied up with a big bow to present to Pater. Much appreciated!
Happy birthday Paul!! You carry your years well.
