There is not much to post, but I said that I would, and so I shall, for it serves as a bit of a record.
Sue and I took a takeout breakfast and coffee to the park. It was cool and very windy, so we ate in the car before taking a little stroll.
You see me with the camera up above. I did take a few photos that I will probably post tomorrow.
Late afternoon we headed to the kids for food, cake and a gift. The gift was a group collaboration consisting of funding for a piece of photo software that interests me.

| Sue is a bit exasperated with Jonathan who hammed it up in every photo. |
Before posting, I saw Sue's collage in our family fb group.
She also found this one from 2009.
I guess this is why we post of these ordinary little events. Eventually, they may resurface as sweet memories.

Happy birthday again, AC! Love that last picture.
Looks like you had a great birthday, the "cake" looks delicious! I miss Tim Hortons!
Sweet new memories to go with the old ones.
You do have fun celebrating. We don't do much of that these days. Dan has his 74th this month. He already ordered his birthday present!
You had a fun day with family and cake. The last photo is priceless!
Happy birthday, AC. Such sweet photos - especially the last one.
Our family is usually getting together for the big "0" birthdays, but sadly didn't do a thing for my oldest's 60th. Well we all went together for a gift that he didn't think was that hot, a lesson learned. Good that you all live close enough for family gatherings regularly! It's possible indeed that they will bring smiles in the future.
Happy birthday! How nice to spend it with your family. We rarely all get together.
I've just been reading some of your recent posts. They made me smile, so thank you. 😊
Oh Topaz! It is a great piece of software!
Happy Birthday and I love all these cherished photos!
Yes, you are right. Our blogs serve, for many of us anyway, as a record of our lives, our interests, our worries, triumphs, and celebrations. My hope is that when I am gone, my sons and their kids will have my blog to read and get to know me better. I have so many questions I wish I had asked my parents but never thought of when they were living. At least with my blog they will have a place to find some of the answers.
The memories are precious. A lot of the folk I follow are posting grandkid-back-to-school then and now comparisons. So this one fits in perfectly and they sure were cute.
And .............. you haven't changed a bit. Right? Right. Wishing you a happy year ahead and am eagerly awaiting the AI post(s).
Those grandkids love you. Happy for you all.
Looks like a memorable day you had
Grandkids grow up quickly so it's good that you can take a look at them.
Hope your day was grand.
I like lowkey days
Oh how they’ve grown! How fortunate you were to live nearby!
The wonderful thing about those memories? You are not their only keeper.
Sending belated birthday wishes. Your cake looks delicious.
Belated birthday greetings! Looks like a good day. I have a grandson like Jonathan! I sympathise with Sue.
Lovely photos and I love it when someone hams it up. :) They make great memories for later on.
You are right, happy memories. The years go by too fast.
Happy birthday!
Now THAT is a fabulous gift. And the memories are marvelous. Wishing you many happy returns in your next journey around the sun. You certainly have mastered the art of living well.
Looks like a great celebration, then and now!
Happy belated birthday!
