Monday Memory

This is late for Father's Day so now we'll call it Dad birthday week celebration, but what the heck - I'll celebrate my dad any day. 

My sister posted this pic on Facebook. It's my brother.

Dad always looked like he could drop us kids any minute.  And he was afraid we'd spew a bit and mess up his clothes.  He was a great father - just not that keen on babies. 


 Here's dad last July for birthday 89.   Proud to say, I'll be hitting the road to celebrate his big 90. Wow!!!

So, that's our Monday moment. Blast from the past. Still kicking.  My dad is a hoot.  I'm ready to see him and celebrate old George.

    Hi Joanne - Excellent to see and to read your notes ... enjoy speaking to your Dad as often as possible as he approaches and goes beyond his 90th. Congratulations 'Old George' ... Cheers - Hilary

    Your descriptions and photo make me happy. Your dad has reason for pride, and is certainly reason for you to celebrate. 90?! Wow. Celebrate joyously. Happy for you and yours.
