Today is Kirk's 56th birthday and he just posted this on Facebook:

Kirk VandenBerghe
My amazing mom, Luise Volta, just blew my mind with the gift of an iPad 2. Top of the line 64GB 3G (Verizon) with black leather case. When I winced about the extravagant cost, she informed me that it's my Christmas and birthday present for the rest of her life! :-)

(And I was serious! LOL!)

That picture of you and Kirk is one of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen.  Happy Birthday to Kirk, and blessings to both of you.

Well say Happy Birthday from me to Kirk, your sweet loving son.   Wishing him and his family the best....

Thanks. It was taken about 4 years ago when I was 80. :-)

Aw, he's still a pup. Just a mere young'un  :D

Happy birthday, Kirk!

LOL about the gift, Luise!  Cute

Thanks, Pam. I had already gotten him a card and put a $100. check in it. I do that every Christmas and every birthday because I don't know what else to do. It felt so flat. So I thought, why don't I just add up what I would send twice a year for the next five years and get him something that would make his heart sing?  ;D

Sounds as though you accomplished that goal, Luise!  What a sweet mom you are...  Happy birthday, Kirk!!!   ;D

I had to find some way to rationalize it.  ;D ;D ;D Kirk says he's holding me to it and I can't spend a dime on him until 2017. I will be 89 years old!! LOL!

(We shall see. More LOLs))
