Yesterday was the birthday of my Uncle Del (also known on the blog as UD), the husband of my mom's sister, Aunt Beth (AB). He and my aunt are spending the month relaxing in Florida and enjoying the sun, which seems a little brighter there than in their native Minnesota. On his birthday he may have been golfing, reading at the beach, playing bridge, or maybe something even more exciting. Whatever it was, I hope he enjoyed his day.Uncle Del is a great cook, as is seen in the picture, and he's also the best one in the family to play partners with in Trivial Pursuit. My mom's Trivial Pursuit box actually has recorded the number of "pie's" his team was able to win in one turn. I think it was four...? He enjoys games of all sorts, but, actually, I don't think Trivial Pursuit is one of his favorites. Bonus points for him for playing it with us every summer on vacation...because it's TRADITION! He also crafted one of the most ingenious contraptions in our house, four little boosters for our card table which make it stand as tall as our dining table. We use them all the time and have yet to see any for sale. It could be his claim to fame someday...if he really wants that sort of thing. He's very special to us, and we wish him lots of love for the year ahead!
