Birthday Overview

On the weekend I, with the family, celebrated the completion of my 72nd trip around the sun.

It began on Friday with lunch out with friends and continued on Saturday with a bacon and egg breakfast.

On Sunday morning, I was presented with a shirt. More often than not, I am given a shirt on either Fathers Day or my birthday or both. It makes us all smile as there are so many pictures like this, year after year, decade after decade.

Sunday afternoon and evening was the celebration with family. There were a few presents to open. This one is a phone holder for the car. But, of course, the presence of family was the best present.

Then it was off to dinner.

Cake at home afterward.

On Monday, we took a spin to the nearest lock on the historic Rideau Canal. Danica had never seen a lock in operation. JJ decided that video games with his friends were better than any old lock.

They moved to the other end to watch the rising of the water. It has already come up a long way but still has a few feet to go.

I may do the whole lock sequence in another post, but this post was to give an overview of the weekend.
