Do you think he was surprised?

I mentioned in a thread last week that Nancy and I had bought her son this Explorer II as a surprise birthday gift.





We took him and his wife to our favourite restaurant last Saturday evening, and gave him a special hors d'oeuvre. You think he was surprised?


P.S. Pardon the pix quality, it's pretty dark in there.

That's the stuff a life well lived is made of. When all else is gone, that sweet memory will live on for many years.
