The Old Man and the C


Last Sunday we hosted a party to celebrate a couple of birthdays. Though it was my birthday, the real reason for the party was Stretch's 60th. I made this video to celebrate him, as well as embarrass him. I accompished both. For those who were unable to attend the party, enjoy.




I'm hoping to look that good when I am 60. Though I know it won't happen.


Pat had a good time...


Mac had a good time...




Kate had a...do you see a recurring theme here? Must be a Wharton thing...

Based on baby Gwen's stare, I'd say she was hungry...

This is Buddy before he decided to punch my coffee table with his face...

Pat was in a better mood after Ard and Jan arrived. Who wouldn't be?

Chris: that video was amazing- so well-planned and such beautful memories. I'm still wiping the tears off my cheeks; seeing Grandpa in the end was very special for me, and MAN I miss my Grandma!

I didn't realize the Stretch was such an outdoor activist! Repelling? Wow! I'm so impressed.

In some of the video Stretch looked just like Scott and sometimes a lot like Neil- they are definitely brothers. I loved that you included the music they play together.

I wish I could have been there for the celebration. I've always always had a special place in my heart for my Uncle Stretch. He's one of the warmest, most genuine men I know and he deserved to be made a fuss over- Thanks for sharing that tribute. It was very touching.
