We drove down to help celebrate and to take pictures of the event. In this first photo, Mom and Dad are enjoying their meal &#8211; notice the necklace around Dad&#8217;s neck &#8211; each blue bubble has rolled-up money inside. It looked funny and sort of neat at the same time.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"imagelink\" href=\"http:\/\/vernabob.com\/graphics\/imageview.php?image=http:\/\/vernabob.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/verna-drake.jpg\" title=\"verna-drake.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image830\" src=\"http:\/\/vernabob.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/verna-drake.jpg\" alt=\"verna-drake.jpg\" width='240' class='right' \/><\/a>A bunch of Dad&#8217;s children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were there. Aunt Verna loves the babies and, of course, I wanted to hold baby Drake. He&#8217;s the most recently-born great-grandchild. He sat with me for about ten or fifteen minutes before getting a little fussy and wanting to go to someone he knows a little better. Drake and Jayden, his older brother came with their Mom Tracy and older sister Vanessa.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"imagelink\" href=\"http:\/\/vernabob.com\/graphics\/imageview.php?image=http:\/\/vernabob.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/at-the-siz.jpg\" title=\"at-the-siz.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image831\" src=\"http:\/\/vernabob.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/at-the-siz.jpg\" alt=\"at-the-siz.jpg\" class='left' width='240' \/><\/a>Also at the gathering were the kids, in-laws and friends. Carol and Rod brought Tony (who recently broke his hand &#8211; ow!), Fred, Sherry, Matt and Kathy were there as well.  Also seen are Brenda and Gene, Liz, JJ and Sara, Diane, Adriana, Gail and Billie. <\/p>\n<p>It was nice to see everybody there helping Dad to celebrate his 78th birthday. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although Dad&#8217;s Birthday is actually tomorrow, today the family celebrated at the Sizzler, one of Dad&#8217;s favorite places to eat (if not the favorite).
