Mom replenished his pure maple syrup supply, which she naively claims should last him til his next birthday (I'll have to have a talk with her), and her sister gave him an aromatically awesome gift of maple-flavored coffee and an interestingly labeled 4 pack of brown ale. Check out the label if you can see it.
Dad just loves pure maple syrup and uses it in his daily oatmeal and, of course, on mom's famous blueberry whole wheat-flax pancakes that they have pretty much every Sunday morning. If mom had her way she'd keep that syrup under lock and key because dad has never learned the meaning of "just a little bit". Not included in the photo is another of dad's favorites- feta stuffed green olives from me. I'm telling you, this guy and food...
Coffee, beer and pure maple syrup are just three of the 5 things dad lives for (besides mom and me, of course). Mom says not to mention the 5th.
Anyway, Happy Birthday yet again, old man. We love you, and hope you have an awesome day.

Happy, happy birthday to your dad, Cleo! Our mom says being in his *extremely* late forties should be a breeze. She also got a chuckle out of the 5th thing, although we don't get why.
Ha, Cleo! Your dad is a young-un, since my 6-Oh is this spring.
However, like him, inside I feel much, MUCH younger.
It's looking in the mirror that freaks me out...who the heck is THAT?!?
Happy Birthday, Cleo's Dad, and life is short so enjoy your maple syrup and weird beers!

Happy Maple Birthday! to your dad.... Some of us have passed the 60 mark (7 months ago). I like real maple syrup, but putting it in all those other foods sounds like my mom (who will be 87 on 10/25--so maple flavor in all those things must not be a bad thing as you 'get older'.)
Happy Birthday to your Dad! Now that I am 50, I don't think 58 is old :)
Happy birthday to your human, Cleo!
What a great SIL to know exactly what to bring.
Tell Dad I'm 12 years older
Happy Bday
Hugs Cecilia
Hope your dad had a purrfect day! Hope he gets to Vermont sometime...we have maple syrup everywhere!
Happy Belated Birthday to your dad! He sounds like my husband, another foodie. He hates traveling across the state but made the trek yesterday for a culinary experiment with his brother. Oh, and he's bringing back food from his favorite burger joint. ~rolls eyes~ At least he is relatively easy to bribe. Heh...
Happy Birthday to your Dad. He's younger than my Dad (by 11 months)!
We are a bit late but wish Dad a very Happy Birthday. We remember when our Dad was pushing 60 and now he is pushing the next decade. Maple anything is a great gift so go Dad go
