Mark McKell's 90th Birthday

Hi there,

I am trying again to compose a blog. I had some luck with the first one although the text and the picture were not connected to each other. So.......this one may be the same way, or it may not even have the pictures at all!! I am still going to try.

Yesterday my family had a birthday party for my 90 year-old father. We held the party at a converted LDS Church that is now a reception center. This old building is the same building where my father attended church as a child. It is also the building that my dad's dad was in charge of building when he was an LDS Bishop. It took 14 years to build (during the Depression of the 1930's).

We had a lovely dinner and little speeches from Dad's three children and 12 grandchildren (speeches that Grandpa loved hearing about himself!) It was a great party!

My dad, at 90, is remarkable. His heath is phenomenal for his age. He is very active. Some of his activities are: feeding cows on his farm, playing the organ (which he learned at age 79), handling all the work of six rental properties, and in general, just keeping a very positive attitude.

Happy Birthday to a wonderful dad! How lucky I am to still have him as part of my life.

(I just previewed this blog, and the pictures aren't there!!!! Help, Jake!!)
Oh, well, I will publish it anyway.
