My Aunt (Dad’s sister) found some old family photos, and gave me this one of Dad.
What a serious little boy; wonder what he’s thinking about?
Maybe he’s considering what he’ll be when he grows up. What choices he’ll make and how his life will turn out. Maybe he’s imagining a long and satisfying career as an engineer. Or thinking about all the exciting and interesting places around the world that he’ll explore, all the wonderful things he’ll learn, all the people he’ll meet, all the friends he’ll make, all the good he will do. He can’t know yet the mark he’ll make in the world, but I bet he has an inkling of the family man he’ll become; a wife and four kids, two girls, two boys.
It was a wonderful and full life. And those four kids? They turned out all right too.
Celebrating you today Dad.

Happy Father’s Day to your Dad, Dawn! We’re thinking of you today – it’s supposed to be beautiful – hope you have plans to be outside for most of the day!

I love finding message road signs. I’ve wanted to post pictures of some, maybe I’ll start!
Your dad was so cute as a young boy. I wonder if his hair always looked that neat and tidy.

Happy Pawther’s Day. We had fun visiting Grand Paw. Essex & Deacon were huge hits at the nursing home, as always. Deacon was in heaven while Essex hid behind Dog Dad.
