Brent's 64th Birthday Party

Well, what a great beautiful, perfect, Spring day!   Cinco de Mayo! 
 . . . . Oops, I mean Brent's 64th Birthday!   What a fun day was had by all!  The REAL reason for the big celebration on May 5th.  

Family came over and we shared ribs for dinner before the big flaming blow-out. I had to tone it down a bit, so the Fire Marshall wouldn't close the joint down.
We had his favorite cake and according to him, "The only REAL cake",  Angel Food cake and topped it withe some ouooey, gooey icing (Divinity, White Mountain or sometimes it is called 7 minute icing).   We also had ice cream in his other favorite flavor, Vanilla.  BTW: there was some other chocolate mint icy, creamy, cold stuff too.

He was his Mother's Mothers Day present the year he was born and he brings that beautiful "Spring" into our lives every day of the year. 
He comes by his nickname of Tigger naturally, because as he says to me that he is "Basically LOVEABLE"   And that is so true.
Happy,  joyous and bouncy, bouncy, hardworking, and exuberant; that is Brent in a nutshell.  Speaking of nutshells, yep, he is even a bit like a squirrel, or rather leaves food droppings when he eats, sometimes it's on the chair or maybe down the front of his shirt.  It's just part of his glorious trademark! 

He is the oldest kid I know!  And that is a good thing, no maybe the best thing!
 
He loves to sing and I love his energy and excitement when he does.  In fact he always puts that HaPpY extra into all he does, whether it is riding his tractor, mowing the lawn, in his bib-overalls and straw hat, playing sports, walking Daisy in the very early morning or his favorite, playing with the Grandkidlets.   He just adds so much more into all of the lives, of the people he knows.  And those are just a few of the reasons we all love him so!

Happiest of Birthday Years to you, my dear, sweetheart! 

XOXO
