It's a BIG day for Dad, and wish we were at his place to celebrate with him. He puts on a great BBQ dinner (not just on special days, either!), and some grilled viddles sound pretty good!
Some of you may not know that Dad often comments here on the blog - watch for comments by DK Wight -- you're sure to get a giggle. Some of you know his handle and look forward to his posts as much as I do. He enjoys the friendly community of readers here, and "knows" all frequent commenters, asking about you by name when I'm visiting. You're all a part of our extended family! *grin*
Please join me in wishing Dad a very happy birthday!
Happy Birthday, Dad!
Happy Birthday 'Dad'!!! I am one of those who look out for your comments as well!! Thanks for raising such a talented daughter!

Happy Birthday, Mr Wight, I enjoy your daughter's blog so much she brightens my days with her posts. She is very talented and I know you are very proud.....

Well, doggone it~~ I don't know how I managed to miss the post on his actual birthday! So I'll have to wish a BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MR. D.K.!! I hope you had a wonderful BBQ, and a very fun day! You have an amazing daughter, and I thrive on her blog. I love all the critters, being a farm "girl" myself (I'm almost as old as D.K.!)*hehe* I love her talent as a photographer, and also her fabulous illustrations. They bring such joy to my soul! And let's not forget her sewing talents, too...my goodness, Anna is just an "ANNA OF ALL TRADES"! You must be awfully proud of her accomplishments...I surely would be! And she's fortunate to have a great Dad like you, who cheers her on, and keeps up with what she's up to!
Bottom line is...the Wight family is just a great bunch of folks! Let's not forget your Mom, awesome quilter and maker of beautiful things!!! I'm happy that you have such a priceless family, Anna. And glad you know how to enjoy them! Hugs to all of you!!! :D

Happy Birthday to you! Today is my grandsons 10th birthday and we are planning a celebration. His favorite cake, Hersheys Choc. cake, is waiting for him to arrive.
Have a fun day!

Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday dear "DAD"!
Happy Birthday to you!
Probably best that you didn't actually hear me singing to you. Nevertheless, the sentiment is sincere! Enjoy your special day!!
Cheers,
Jennifer

60 is a spring chicken! My husband is 56 and Anna is in my generation! *giggle* Keep that bait coming. I once caught a tiny bluegill on a piece of chewing gum and used the bluegill to catch a bass.

What's with all the references to MISTER Wight? I feel like we're old friends so he's DK to me! (yes, I'm bold that way). And right along those lines, here's a bold little poem just for the birthday boy:
Rose are Red
Violets are Blue
I'm Glad I'm Not
As Old as You!
Best Birthday Wishes to you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Mr. Wight! My husband works at a Fish Hatchery. He would give this advice I am sure: The picture above is of you showing the photographer what BAIT you were using BEFORE the 14 pound brown trout came and ate it up!

happy birthday Dad ~ aka DK Wight!

Hey! this is last years picture! The one that someone commented about the teeny fish. As Walter Mathau once said "It's not the size that matters" I actually caught some fairly biguns this year. I just wish that my photographer "friend" could have "photoshopped|" a whopper into the frame. Thanks to all my friends for the lovely cards and I'll get busy and tune up the lies for the next montana trip!...... Love, Dad

Okay, the fact that your dad is just turning 60 makes me feel OLD. The youngest parent between my husband and me is 68; the rest are 70 or older.
Happy Birthday, DK, from a fellow Pacific Northwestern!

Ach! I'm so goofed up! All this time, I've been convinced that the 5th was yesterday. Happy birthday TODAY, young man, and may your memory stay younger than mine!

Happy Birthday Mr. Wight! Wishing you a wonderful day and many more years to come. It's a pleasure to be a part of your family (through Anna).
