On the Ninth Day.... Christmas Cactus

Dad's Christmas Cactus is starting to bloom.  It is so beautiful!  

Sparklers for DAD!

Sunday, July 24, 2011

A tradition since Alaska..... sparklers for DAD'S birthday!   We'll keep the sparklers lit, year after year, until we meet again.   Love you and miss you dad!

Our Pioneer Day was celebrated with Rootbeer Floats and a day at the Days of '47 Parade... in front of the television in our air conditioned house.  Nice and Cool!

Dad

Dad passed away 6 years ago today. I've been thinking about him a lot lately. A couple of weeks ago I picked up his Childhood Personal History book and started reading it again. I was re-aquainted with and enjoyed reading about his youthful adventures. I discovered that many of dad's attributes rubbed off on me... and I'll take that! He was a wonderful example of optimism. I miss him and look forward to hearing about his adventures on the other side.
