Mom & Dad love cheese. But these days they don't eat much of it - they don't eat much of anything, actually. That's why if there were an ice cream place, I'd get an ice cream cake.

Thanks for the good wishes. It's great that they have made it to their ages. I saw them in January on their 67th wedding anniversary. I'll see them in May when I am down that way. I wish I could be there with the family for their birthday, but I go no warning.

Here are Mom & Dad in 1946 on their wedding day:

They still look great together.
