Happy Birthday! Our Friend Horst on His 90th B-Day!

HAPPY 90th BIRTHDAY, HORST!

One of our dearest friends, Horst, recently turned 90 years old! The big 9-0. Time to look back, for sure, and a time to look ahead to all the great years to come!

For Horst, everything is getting better and better. Now he has lots of time on his hands at the nursing home, and that can be a kick!

In the long-ago far-off days of youth, Horst didn't ever dream he'd live to be 90!

He was a handsome guy (still is), and all the girls had a thing for him.

Especially one girl, the girl he would marry! (But more about her later!)

This is Horst on their 30th anniversary.

He's pictured here with his dear wife, Edna.
(Unfortunately, Edna had to be cropped out because we wanted a uniform format on this webpage.)

They not only look happy, they were!

GETTIN' BETTER 'N BETTER IN EVERY WAY!

At 90, Horst has nothing too much to worry about these days, just to take it easy and try to stay out of the nurses' way.

Edna passed away a few years ago, and that was sad. But Horst's family made it much easier for him by having the newspaper print a poem, which read in part:

God broke our hearts to prove
That He only takes the best.

What would people get for Horst on his 90th birthday? Well, turns out there were all kinds of things he'd probably like. Like this "Footprints in the Sand" decorative thingy.

Horst's surprise comment on opening his gift:
"What the hell is it?"

Of course a singing bird clock is a gift idea that can't miss, whether your intended victim is young or old. And so it was for Horst.

His comment after opening this gift:
"What the hell do I need this for?"

And these days, the Boogie Blade is very popular as a gift item. It's kind of like the Boogie Bass (singing fish) or the Billy Bass (another singing fish), but this is not a fish nor does it have anything to do with birds, but it's a singing and dancing windshield wiper!

Anyway, it was an obvious choice for an old guy like Horst, whose eye is just naturally captured by something so novel.

Horst's comment on opening this gift was touching:
"What the sam hell — ?"

The nursing home sponsored a nice birthday party for Horst. Many of the residents came over, and some of his friends from town were in.

There was music and ice cream, and quite a few cards.

A nurse asks Horst, "Do you know how many people are here?"

He says, "200?"

"No," the nurse says, "50!"

Horst's beautiful reply: "That all?"

Horst, we know this is a happy time for you, with 90 Big Ones under your belt! Our sincerest wish for you is just this: May you have another 90 and then some!

It won't break our hearts if you shop at Amazon.
But it will prove that you only want the best!
