My sister took this picture of Dad the day after the party - because, of course, the day of the party we had torrential rain. When we were kids, he used to send us into the giggles by yelling "Pasta Fazool!" I am sure that was a better stand-in for other terms....
His surprise party was a complete surprise. The house was packed when he walked in and he just had the best time - as did we all. So a very happy birthday, Dad. I am so glad to have had you around to love for so many years. I hope there are many more.

Happy Birthday to your Dad!
You Dad is 90? I wouldn't believe it if you didn't tell us. He looks great!!!!!! Yes, I want his secrets too!
Happy, Happy Birthday to that young man! May he see many more celebrations with his loving family.

You did such a fantastic job of planning this 90th birthday celebration for your dad. You be a very good little daughter! I was hoping for more pictures. Possibly even one containing your lovely face??
P.S. Wow, you dredged up a memory from my deep, dark past. The expression "Pastafazool!" WHERE do I remember that from?? Oh, rats, this is going to bug me for days! (Unless I can remember, of course.)
Sue, he'd be more than happy to tell you all about his grade school days - for hours.
Pastafazool back atcha! He would be more than happy to talk to you. For hours. Heehee, seriously, he is a very personable guy. And he would say his longevity is due to his wife. And he'd be right!
On Dad's behalf, I thank you.
Let's just hope it's hereditary...
I second that, Judy. Thanks for your kind thoughts.
Guess where my camera is? In Vermont! I was lucky I got out with my shoes on. Have you figured out where that saying fits in your past?
Well, congratulations to your dad on reaching 90!! I hope to look as good at that age, or even at 60! :)
LOL!
Some of those old boys do tell a good tale.
