The birthday cheer actually started off the evening before -
- Jason called to be the first with wishes (he needed to fly to Canada today so it would not be practical for him to call today... what a thoughtful boy.)
- Under Dad's pillow was a pile of fun envelopes. One to open every hour (24). They contained very thoughtful notes and sentiments which mom had requisitioned from Dad's family and friends.
- Sarah "woke-up" Dad with the traditional birthday parade, which featured the traditional petunias - the summer annuals for the front.

- Then Sarah treated Dad to toast-poached eggs, on the red plate for breakfast.
- Dad enjoyed Rachel's post and Robbie's post trumpeting the day.
- On the drive to work Katie and Dallin called to sing and wish happiness on the day.
After work Dad was greeted with lighted birthday candle cupcakes from Sarah.
- Robbie & Marybeth called with wishes and good cheer.
- Dad opened some very thoughtful cards from Grandma and Rachel.
- Then it was off to a dinner date with Sarah at -
Yes Mom, we got the bread.... - After dinner, Sarah and Dad walked over to a store a few shops over to see if the day would be perfected even more (see Cornwalls2).
- Returning to 336 we enjoyed the cupcakes (woah Mom, they really ARE great!)
- Rachel called with a final round of love and kindness.
Janice brought over the final fun gift and sweet card of the day -
