Tony's Birthday

Tomorrow is my wonderful DH's 60th birthday.











We have been partying all weekend .... not too shabby for 2 old coots!  (I'll let you know how we feel tomorrow!)







For a year or so, Tony has been hinting toward buying a motorcycle for this milestone birthday, even stooping so low as to using his newest grandson to try to sweeten the deal for him.
















So ... my dearest sis and Irish brother-in-law gave Tony a gift last night that could make all of his dreams come true.......



















Isn't it soooo cute?









Cool, sleek, takes up little space on a shelf in his manroom,  and is as safe as sitting on a couch in front of the TV can be ... Perfect present!










Well .... almost ....









Here is the true perfect present .....



















2 sweet grandbabies singing "Happy Birthday" to you on your 60th!







Happy 60th Birthday, Tony.  Thank you for spending every one of the last 37 with me.
