Something to celebrate! My dad turned 91 yesterday. Dad is one of the oldest inhabitants of the village. Some local officials, dressed in traditional folkloric costumes, payed tribute to him. This is a regular annual tradition. Many happy returns!

Thank you, Nia! Have a nice weekend.
Once again glad to see that your dad has celebrated another birthday with his distinctive flair! I’ll toast him when I enjoy a beer after my run later today.
Thank you so much, my friend! Enjoy your run and… your drink afterwards.
Give your dad a ‘High 5″ and Happy Birthday! And go for another round of chocolate, espresso and beer.
Thank you, Timothy. I’ll show my dad this post and translate the comments…
Wonderful news! Please tell me his secret is Belgian chocolate. (Or is that just wishful thinking on my part?) Either way, happy, happy!!!
Thank you, Lori!
Chocolate and coffee, that’s the family secret but please, don’t tell anyone… 🙂

What a great way to spend a birthday! The costumes are great! Happy Birthday and congratulations to your father, Herman and Mr. Bowie, and a big Happy Birthday to your dad from all the Cats of Salmon Brook Farms!
Thank you so much, Lavinia! I’m going to show him this post tomorrow.
Oh we just love this post from you every year….your Dad is amazing AND he has the BEST “twinkle in his eye” I’ve seen. The traditional costumes and the visit by the villagers is truly a lovely custom and I just know it’s a lot of fun for your Dad. Happy Birthday to him……..!
Pam (and Sammy)
Thank you so much, my dear Pam! I’m sure he’ll like all these kind comments and wishes.
He looks like such a KIND man and I’m sure that’s where you got it from….Sam says Hi to Mr. Bowie!

Thank you, Pam!
Mr. Bowie says “Meow!” to Sammy!
Happy Birthday and congratulations to your dad from Finland. Great party and a great dad.
Thank you, Rantasalot. Much appreciated! I’m going to show my dad all these beautiful comments tomorrow.
Another great birthday for your dad, who looks so good for 91. It’s wonderful that the local officials come to honor him on his special day. I hope it was a nice celebration.
Thank you so much, my dear friend. We had good chocolates and coffee and… more chocolates! 😉
More chocolate…and yet you never seems to gain weight with all that good chocolate. It doesn’t work that way for me, lol.
Haha… the secret is you got to buy Belgian chocolate! 😉
We mostly get German chocolate as our imported kinds here. You must take the calories out of the good Belgian chocolate. 🙂
Happy Birthday to your dad!
Thank you, Monni. Much appreciated!

Happy Birthday to him ❤ I'd love to live til my nineties too. 🙂
Thank you so much!
I am so glad you Dad had another great birthday. Also, it is wonderful to know there are still small friendly places where the local officials are not too self-important to go wish an older person like your Dad a happy birthday. He must know the secret to living well, he looks great.
Thank you, Angela. Much appreciated!
Happy birthday to your Dad. What a nice celebration for him. He looks fabulous for an 91 year young one , I can see the spark in his eyes, I bet he has a great humor. Cheers to all of you. Did Mr.Bowie wear a birthday hat for your Dad?
Thank you so much, Cornelia! My dad got a head bump from Mr. Bowie…
I had to laugh so hard about that. Wish there would be a picture of the head bump…..Oh I know about cat head bumps…
I was way too late with my camera…
Happy Birthday Herman’s dad and Mr. Bowie’s granddad!
Thank you so much, Laura!
You’re welcome!!
You don’t look a day older than the last birthday! Whatever you’re doing, keep doing it because it looks good on you. Happy Birthday! xB
Thank you, my dear Boomdee. I’ll tell my dad…
Happy birthday to your dad! Because of my family’s Polish ancestry, we would say, “Sto Lat!” (which means, “may you live 100 years”). Ellie
Oh… thank you so much, Ellie!

Much, much belated birthday greetings to your dad. Still must be nice to have some of the town officials to come by and celebrate. Clearly, the officials enjoy it themselves.
Continued good health to your dad, with many more birthdays to be celebrated.
