My dad..1942..shortly before marrying my mom on June 12,1942

my parents and me..1946
My dad..
my dad and i in Maryland..
my dad and i fishing.. a favorite shared pasttime..

"I recall the day I took you on a fishin' trip,

You said: "Daddy won't that hook hurt the fishes' lip?"

And you said if they don't get air, those things in the can will die.
So we turned the worms all loose and chased some butterflies"

the last photo made with daddy and my siblings all together..
his 75th birthday..
where daddy lies now ..

  4. I'd never heard it put that way -- a Daddy sized hole -- but it sure is accurate. And mine wore overalls all the time, too.

  6. What a lovely post to remember your dad. They call them "the greatest generation" and I would have to agree.

welcome to my world of salty sunkissed breezes..
where time is not measured..
linger leisurely..
sift sugary white sand between your toes..
Make and take those wonderful memories..
leaving behind..only your footprints...
