Yesterday morning was spent in Papa’s workshop, with everyone making leather projects. We finally celebrated Papa’s 75th birthday, actually on May 24, and with various other celebration reservations made and cancelled, we came together in Tucson, and on Zoom in Phoenix and Fargo, yesterday at noon. We sang to Papa and everyone shared a special moment or trait or series of events that involved Papa in our lives. It was a happy, teary time of sharing. Papa unwrapped his gift, and the party favors for everyone - a two volume family photo album of the past 40 years… Whitney’s idea from many years ago, and Covid gave me no more excuses to put it together. We loved seeing everyone on Zoom, but we miss having everyone together!
We ate lunch on the patio under sunny skies and went for a hike in Pima Canyon from mid afternoon to sunset. We got take out dinner from Firebirds, and Lauren helped me ice a carrot cake for dessert. After dinner, we played Ticket to Ride. It was a fun day!
