One Hundred Candles

Well we actually only went with ten, but it was my father in law's 100th birthday.

Even with multiple tries he was only able to blow out nine of them.

I guess for this birthday you get what you want.  I was not able to arrange for him to roar around town on a Harley, but a meal from the local German restaurant including pig's knuckles and a beer was no problem.

A couple of his grandsons who made a considerable journey to be there.

He looks pretty good in the above picture.  All three of them do actually.  But here's the look before a much needed haircut.  The hand grenade he's holding is inert, and has been sitting on his desk for decades.

One hundred years old.  Not something most of us will see.
