Happy Birthday Papaw!

Today is my grandfather's 83rd birthday and he is still rockin! I'm so fortunate to have had all of my grandparents in my life for many years. My dad's mom past away in 2005 and my mom's step-dad in 2006, but the other two are still with me. My papaw is living a long and happy life. He has 5 children, 10 grandchildren, and 8 great-grandchildren and 3 on the way!

Anyways, we had his party yesterday at the lake house. It was good to see everybody and wish him a happy birthday!

Notice in the picture that the candles show 38. My papaw has claimed he is ONLY 39 years old for as loooooonnnnng as I can remember. I'm glad to see he still has his sense of humor.

The castle has 23 en-suite bedrooms and 3 beautiful private rooms complimented by enchanting formal gardens. To read about the history of the castle click here. We stayed in the Coghill room. We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights. We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...
