Our birthday celebration for my Dad on Saturday turned out well. Even though the food at Ryan's was not good, my Dad and Ilse loved it. That was what mattered. I am glad that Diedre and Ross were able to join us. Ilse thought she was very clever having the restaurant staff come over to sing Happy Birthday to my Dad. Ilse wants to do something with me on my birthday. I told her we could go to a movie. Now I have to find a movie that she would enjoy. Four days umtil I turn the big 50.
