On Sunday 11/21/10 about 75 of us got together to celebrate
Dad's 80th birthday.
All 7 Walinski sibs were in attendance as were most of the grandchildren.
(Paul made a surprise trip from TN {the look on Dad's face was priceless!},
and Carl & Isabelle, Felix and Anna came from Germany)
We had been worried about the weather but God kept telling me to trust Him... that everything would be fine... and it was!
I wish I could learn to let go and let God!
Once again Nicole came through with a beautiful cake and a special golfer cake topper in honor of Dad. He told her it was very special to him and he would "keep it always".
