Eighty Years

Mark’s dad turned 80 this year, and you just have to have a party!  We did an open house and invited family and friends from then and now.  Going through pictures for his slideshow was so fun.  They show a life of travel, parties, and fun.

This was the last Christmas we had Mark’s mother with us.

We ended up with over 200 pictures in a slideshow spanning his life.  It was great fun for everyone to watch!

We had the party at his place, and they did a great job.  Everything was done for us!  Food, bar, coffee, cake.

This is Al.  Mark and his son Jeff used to cut lawns.  Al has kept their sign all these years!

It was impossible to get pictures with everyone, but I tried at the end!

It was a great day, and Covert thoroughly enjoyed himself!  It’s a real testament to who he is to have so many great people show up for him.
