JBA turns 89 December 8, 2010
Posted By drsao on December 18, 2010
The Albertson clan (and sprouts from the clan) gathered in Kansas City to celebrate my daddy’s birthday – he was 89 years young last week! What an inspiration he is to us all. He is doing amazingly well after his TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT this summer! I was impressed by his joyful spirit – and his wit too – he gave us all quite a few giggles….! Thanks to EVERYONE who sent cards and called – it really made the birthday celebration lots of fun!
We really had a great time – multiple birthday celebrations – including a trip to Cascone’s (our favorite Italian restaurant in KC) and a drive through the Plaza to see the Christmas lights. We also enjoyed watching the snow fall! Yes, I got to see Kansas City SNOW this year!
Daddy even gave me an organ concert and impressed us all with his feats of memory…..I don’t know anyone else who can spout off phone numbers like he can – including the number of his pharmacy! WOW!
Here are a FEW pictures to highlight the birthday celebration! We were happy to all be together, but of course we missed having Mother with us too.
PS – and that is my brother Fred with the HUGE piece of birthday cake – I have to say that Elaine makes a great carrot cake *my favorite too!
