88th Birthday Today. Happy Birthday, Dad!

It's my dads 88th birthday today. Amazing!  My husband and I are going out to dinner this evening to Celebrate along with a few of my dads friends.

For those that don't recall, my dad is legally blind, has a stairwall which he goes up and down quicker than I can, also he pegs his washing on the clothes line without help, uses his treadmill several times a week and of course lives in his own home a two story house over looking the sea.

There is a car in the garage for my use when I stay down there each week, I live at my father's house plus my own house of course not at the same time :) my husband  sometimes comes with me to dads and stays.

So Happy Birthday Dad - May there be many more.

Graphics

Years ago as in once upon a time when dial-up was the only way to connect to the internet I discovered that I could make things on my computer, those things were called graphics. With lots of fiddling and patience I made many things with the software I bought, some software to make graphics was and is free.

This evening I went to make the graphic below but couldn't remember how I did it, lucky for me I found written down how I did it...The graphic colour comes from a photo of one of my flowers.
