Monday T - trivial pretty pics

 Went to visit my Dad last weekend in suburban Philly. He's hanging in there - hobbling about at 86 in the house where I grew up.  He's a hoot - loves his sweets, keeps up with ABC news, is appalled at the current administration, and snoozes plenty. But he kept me hopping - fetching stuff, fixing stuff, and re-arranging. I inspected the fridge and threw away a few gems from 2016!!! Yikes!
 These lovely pics are from a walk around the block. It was brisk - spring is very late arriving. On Saturday 4/14, the temp hit 80 or so.  Then boom - a big plummet to 30 or so. And on Tuesday, teensy snowflakes fell. That's just wrong for mid April
 I got to eat my favorite - Pudge's cheesesteak.  Got to hang with friends - plenty of laughs.  And time with Dad is precious - we have a grand time
I've shown this before - yes, a rotary phone in the kitchen with an added keypad. He won't get rid of it because then he'd have to re-paint the wall.  This phone has to be the most expensive phone in history - AT&T has made a bloody fortune from his monthly payment. Crazy - well, yeah...but hey, it's part of the house.

T for trivial...Happy Monday!

    Hi Joanne - lovely to see the photos and to get your news ... that phone is amazing. Love the plants ... but you could have joined me up here for throwing out food - you don't want to know!! Cheers Hilary

      thanks. Stuff just gets pushed to the back and then hangs there for years.

    Glad to hear you had a nice visit and your Dad is doing well. The flowers are lovely. Spring is sure taking its time arriving here. Such a tease.
