This is an old photo of my father that I made into a birthday card.
Ah, the '70s. My dad and me.
Gulp, the '07s. Dad and me now.I feel so fortunate that my father is still here to share my life, his stories and our adventures. Frankly, I can't imagine him not being here. How wonderful it is to find a best friend in a parent as you both get older.
I know that he was not so lucky with his own father. My grandfather died when my dad was only 11. Through my father's stories, I know that Kenneth was a charismatic and very likeable person. I'm so sorry I never knew him, and that my dad wasn't able to have an adult relationship with his father. I can see by the twinkle in his eye that my grandfather must have been a blast.
Happy Fathers' Day all!
What a great blog Leslie!!! I love all the photos... so glad your camera is treating you right. There is an option you can add to blogs, it's a calendar that will highlight the dates you entered new posts. And don't forget to add to your description a daughter-in-law, too! ;)

Aw, you're Dad will love this one. Yes indeed, a very nice blog. And that's a good picture of your Dad and you, vintage 1974. Keep them coming. You're good at this.
ReplyDeleteLove the card, love the photos. See you at Silver Bella!!!
ReplyDeleteYou know, your dad has a mystical look in his eyes... Part Hemingway... Part preacher. I could easily see him hiking along a sun-blasted ridge in New Mexico, or taking up the collection in a small country church. He inspires that kind of confidence.
ReplyDeleteAnd the seventies picture of you and dad is hysterical. Yes, I remember that halter top well!
