Happy Birthday to you, Dad

We're home!  Meaning that for the first time in over a year there was a Portland event that I didn't miss.  Ryan and I had the pleasure of spending the day with my dad today on his birthday.

The day consisted of a beautiful spring walk around my old neighborhood followed by a coffee break and lunch at Nostrana.  Of course it rained.  A welcome home present, I guess.

Over the years Dad has always made me laugh and has never failed to encourage me.  Here we are. :)

I couldn't ask for a better day, or for a better dad.

Happy Birthday dad, I love you!
