Well - he sure does not look 81 does he!...nor does he act it. May I introduce you to my Father, Dr. Milam Leavens. He is holding his first Great Grand Child, Madison.
How did we bring in his 81st birthday you ask? Well, Dad accompanied me to the Emergency Room the night before. He spent much of the time reading the short stories of Oh Henry out loud, while I laid on the gurney and we were waiting for many test results to come in. As it turns out, I had an ovarian cyst. As we were filling out the release paper work, I asked him what time it was.
"Seven minutes after midnight" He replied.
"Happy Birthday Dad. I am sorry you rang it in, in the ER with me." I said.
"I am not." He said with a gentle look in his eyes and the slightest smile.

Your father is a very handsome man (I would never have guessed 81!). I hope that he had a delightful birthday! Madison is a little beauty, too...what a great smile!
You have a lovely blog!

What a handsome father you have! A very nice tribute to him on his birthday too.
I think you sent me an email about adding catagories to you blog...somehow I missed it...I found it while serching for an email address.
I see you have figured it out nicely.
I'm sorry I missed the email, I would have been happy to help.
