86 today

Dad's 86th birthday.  Both my brother and my sister and their partners were able to get here for the afternoon.  Dad looked quite tired when he arrived, but once the meal was served - and especially after the chocolate cake appeared, he became quite animated for a while.

He really enjoyed this cake.  Some of the left over has gone home with him, and there is enough left, even after Z and E arrived, that I can probably take him another piece when I visit after the weekend.
