12131My father's real (aka Western calendar) 100th birthday
Many of you probably remember our extended family celebrating my father's 100th
last year that was based on our tradition. Well, a year later, it's his real 100th, and I'm thrilled to report that the man is still doing well.
No one else is around this time, except me and Mrs Q. But, we enjoyed the quietness and the excellent food Mrs Q cooked up. The lemon grass flavored salty crabs were particularly delicious.

rburgI think you're lucky. My mother croaked a couple of months short two years ago. He's smiling so I think we can infer that he's happy. Many of the oldie's don't seem so happy. With age often comes pain and suffering. Hope he makes it to 200 and is still happy.
