100th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS

What a wonderful evening we have had tonight celebrating this man's 100th Birthday.

Our neighbour Jack had a party tonight to celebrate the milestone of celebrating his100th Birthday. Over 70 people celebrated "Jack's" 100th Birthday Party at our local Golf Club. It was nice to catch up with folk in our street, and also to meet some lovely elderly folk who have rich and amazing stories to tell of days of a bygone era.

He is quite an amazing man, still lives at home, still enjoys a good yarn, still works in his garden and until today still held his drivers licence. He had to hand it in today on his 100th birthday.

His mind is as alert as ever, and loves to have a chat, and has a real interest in people. He has lived a very full and busy life, and still enjoys socializing with friends. Still attends his local church, and goes shopping each Saturday with his son.
He gave a lovely speech, thanking everyone for making his day so special. He had been counting down the weeks for almost the past year waiting for his party tonight and was so delighted to see that he still had some many wonderful friends and family that made the special effort to be here to celebrate this wonderful occassion with him.

I love this photo of Jack.
You can still see that even at 100 he still has a wonderful sense of humour. It has been such an honour to know Jack and his lovely late wife Edith over the past 30 years and have them as neighbours.

May you have many more happy Birthdays Jack.
