Happy 86th Birthday Dad! Tonight Dad and I celebrated his birthday at "Mangia" at the Swiss Hotel. Would that I look so good and be so healthy at 86!

Guests at the neighboring table asked in a very civilized southern accent -- What DO you eat?! You don't look 86!




"Well, I like to bake bread", Dad replied. Is that the secret? - well at least it keeps him happy!

The courses...

Coconut Shrimp


Anna's Cesar

Dad's Mixed Greens

Dad's Fillet

Anna's Spinach Pasta with Scallops


Anna's Lemon Panna Cotta

Dad blows out the candles on his Pistacio and Coconut Ice Cream Cake
May all your wishes come true!
