Happy Father's Day and Happy Birthday

 Father's Day and my birthday are always close together.  My mom used to tell me that I was my dad's Father's Day present as I was born the day before Father's Day that year.  This year, Father's Day was on Sunday and my birthday on Monday.  We celebrated together.

On Monday, we went out to lunch at a local Japanese restaurant.  The walk up to the restaurant is lined with beautiful artificial cherry trees in blossom.

We went together and bought Ken a smart birdfeeder equipped with a camera.  And I got him a book about the building of the Panama Canal.  He loves to read about history.


We received many cards and letters.



Ken got me perfume and a book.  Michelle made me a book that included Patriarchal Blessings of many of my ancestors.  Kristen and Michelle got me a coupon for a reflexology appointment.
Shonna had previously made me this beautiful vase and for this birthday she painted this beautiful picture.  She also gave me several bars of delicious smelling soaps.

These pictures turned out blurry, but our Japanese lunch was delicious.



We love the salad and Miso soup.



Celebrating Father's Day and my birthday brought us joy!!
