Today is my dad's birthday...and I thought I'd surprise him here with his gift (the painting - not an exotic vacation!)

This spot in Hawaii is very special for my entire family (in fact I got married a few yards from here!)

My dad is amazing, and I'm blessed to have him in my life. He's traveling right now, so hopefully he won't mind that a few hundred people "open" his present before him ;)

  4. Jane, thanks so much. It is perfect. Much better than the photograph with your inimitable style. You never fail to please.

    Love you.
