turkeyfeathers Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 So my mom turns 88 today and my soon to be 90 year old dad (both in great health and have wits about them) got up at o'dark thirty to go get breakfast for her. Then he preceded to go to the store and gather things to load a surprise picnic basket with. Cake included. They drove to Niagara on the lake for a birthday picnic. They just called, they were releasing helium birthday balloons over the lake. Rain held off for them. Just had to share as I'm blessed to still have them around. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Cool short story. Considering this site though, I honestly thought there was going to be a punch line at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
