Sorry. The shutterfly invite has really messed things up so this is the text that is suposed to be up there.

80 years old is probably not that big of a deal for most but for my dad it is a big deal. He had a major stroke 12 years ago and almost died. We all tried to prepare for anything after that. And now he is 80!

It shouldn't be that much of a surprise I guess. My dad is the toughest man I have ever known. Even with the use of only one arm he still has a grip that could do some damage.

I love my dad so much. I loved him before his stroke for the hard worker he was. I love him now for the joy he gets from the little things.

I am thankful to still have my dad. I owe that to my mom. She has taken great care of my dad these past 12 years. Thanks Mom, I love you.

We are having an open house on Saturday, May 28th.(not the 29th like the invite says) I hope that anyone in town for the long weekend can stop by. Dad would love to see you.
