Happy Birthday Har!

Today is Harlan's birthday. I made plans for an overnight stay at a local hotel. So last night we left our home in the hands of our children and the college aged church group that was meeting there.
We stayed at a place that we always said "We should go there sometime." It was a nice place.

We couldn't go out of town because Har was on call for work. He has been on this new schedule of oncall rotations since January. This is the first time he has been called in!
He spent a total of six hours on his birthday solving the problems of somebody that needed him.

It's what he does. He is a problem solver.
We did manage a brief visit to Sears. Doesn't he look like he belongs in that department?

He has been a big fan of Burgerville for as long as I can remember. So we were at Burgerville for a late lunch.

Tillamook Pepperjack Cheeseburger basket!
YUM!

Here is a new favorite picture of Har.

Doing what he does best....serving God and country. Possibly just God.
He is a good sound guy. Place the emphasis wherever you will.

While we were at the hotel this morning I came up with a new project for him.

Wouldn't it be lovely for this fountain (it is around 5' tall and maybe 15' across) to be replicated in our backyard? I'll have to start gleaning river rocks from somewhere.

And what birthday post would be complete lately without a picture of the blanket made for the occasion.

Harlan's quilt has various fabrics depicting his various interests. Musical intruments, notes, clocks (history), wood and earthtones. ( We are giving it to him this evening. Hope he likes it)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARLAN!
