well, it is father's day. i actually don't have an overabundance of pictures of my father on my computer so these will have to do......dad is from minnesota and has always wanted to be a pilot...maybe that's not true, but i think he should be a pilot when i see the picture above. he is a hard-worker though...not only with shovelling snow, but in his career as well. 
he is hard-core biker....maybe not, but he did consider buying a motorcycle and driving it up to alaska in his 20's. i'm thinking it was a good thing he didn't.
dad likes to 
have fun---only in the setting of large quantities of ouzo! maybe not...but his teetotaller self can joke about it!more seriously, dad is extremely loyal and dedicated to his wife and family. mom and dad have been married now for 29 years! (i'm catching the theme that he likes hats in these pictures too!)
i wanted to put a picture of him skydiving in hawaii, but i can't find my pictures right now! that was a stretch for him, but it was such a neat experience to skydive with my sister and dad! hopefully there will be another adventure like that in the future!
happy father's day dad! i'm planning on another 40 more!
Hey! What a neat surprise to see this! Even better than the card I didn't get... Yes, I know it was sent early, so the Post Office needs a flogging! And I have to correct the record here for everyone to see. That ugly winter hat that looks like what the Red Baron wore when he fought Snoopy is really a winter hard hat liner that I bought in Alaska in 1974! (I've had the hat 6 years longer than my wife!) I still wear it when using my snowblower, and it keeps my whole head warm. Ugly, but it works! And I DID take a few hours of flight training, but that was the end of my pilot desires. (Nothing to do with the hat!) Yes, it's good I was talked OUT OF driving a cycle from Alaska to Minnesota by someone who knew a lot more about motorcycles than me, but it was a good thing Heather talked me INTO the skydive!
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch, Sweetie!
