80th Birthday!
On Sunday my sisters and brothers hosted a birthday party, in Chicago, for my Dad.
I went through my computer and found some pictures to share with you.

our famous Backyard parties
Cooking at home, also
Apartment in Maryland, (1955?)
My Mom was lucky, Dad did most of the cooking.
Early 80's
Diane , Stump, DAD and me
probably at a lake in Indiana
Dad would cook breakfast, lunch and dinner on a charcoal grill
We didn't camp overnite, just got there real early and came home late.

Seems like life revolves around Food,
we always seem to be blogging about it.
Happy Birthday DAD
Congratulations, your family is pretty neat. My Dad was a cook on a ship back then, too. Happy Birthday to your Dad. Enjoy your family.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice post, and tribute to your dad on his birthday! I don't remember my dad ever cooking, your mom was a lucky woman! It looks like you family had a lot of fun together. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your dad! My dad was in the Navy too. He was a boiler fireman, however. My dad's specialty was breakfast at 2:00 am when we kids would be coming in from partying. Not sure how many he ate before we got home but breakfast was always in progress!
ReplyDeleteIt would have been my dad's birthday today, too. He was born in 1916 and died in 1983. Enjoy your dad and happy birthday to all the dads!
ReplyDeleteJust responded to your comment on my blog ;) ... as I said I was here at your blog reading some of your older posts ... Kindred Spirits was what I was reading when I saw your comment pop up ;)
ReplyDeleteI wish I had had a relationship with my Dad... Happy Birthday to yours!
Happy Birthday to your Dad!!..may he have many more ones to celebrate!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your dad.
ReplyDeleteNice tribute. We used to go picnicing on Sundays in NJ. My grandmother would cook spaghetti sauce on the grill and the spagehetti too. Those were the days.
Thanks for stirring up that memory Teri :)
