The Varied Faces of Dean

Last year was Dean's 70th and his family threw an amazing celebration in his honor. We all gathered close to Yosemite for a weekend and ate and talked and partied. 
This year, 71, is back to being normal. He has remembered it is his birthday when I wished him happy first thing. He has read his card. We will go for a walk with Oso later in the morning and tonight we will go out to dinner with a couple whose husband shares the birth day. 
Here are some pictures to celebrate this year in Dean's life. Not in any order ~ just snippets showing who he is as he went about his daily life for another year. 

He works in the yard.

He likes camping and cooking over an open fire. 

He was surprised and honored by the Alumni Association of Drucker Business School.

He loves exploring out of the way places, 

and taking amazing pictures. 

He gardens.

He loves to wander the woods with Oso.

He finds a way to eat on the deck as soon as the temperature allows even if there is still some snow on the ground.

He likes having his picture taken in front of interesting scenery.

And he dresses up well when the occasion warrants.

Happy Birthday, Dean!
