Chuck Turns 83

For a year now, everytime someone has asked my husband "How are you", his response is "I'm alive.  I'm 82 years old."  Well, now he has to change it to 83!  Last Friday, August 10th was his birthday.  This is the first time that we have celebrated his birthday with Karen's family. 

First of all we went to his favorite restaurant, Casa de Pico.  We discovered the restuarant soon after we arrived here and it quickly became his favorite place.  So, we loaded everyone in the van and headed  there for his birthday dinner.

Hmmm, what do we have here?

 

 His new San Diego hat.  He told me a couple of weeks ago that now that we lived here, he needed one.

A pretty new Cabana shirt.  Now if I can just get him to wear it untucked!!

Happy Birthday

Lots of help lighting the candles

Make a wish

Luckily there weren't 83 candles!!

And of course the birthday boy gets the first piece of cake.

Happy 83rd Chuck.
