Happy Birthday Dad

Today is my Dad's birthday, had he lived he would be 97 years today. He lived a full 93 as it was, but I miss him and wish that he was still around. :-) No matter how old they are when they leave us, it still is sad!! I was close to my Dad, and miss him a lot. I am sure he is looking down and smiling, and is very busy traveling those unknown roads in heaven!! He had a restless foot and kept us moving around most of our lives, up until I married, and I haven't moved much since! ha
It is a month full of birthdays, and school beginning for another year. Last evening my son and his girlfriend took us out to a nice Japanese restaurant and a pleasant hour or so of visiting. It was fun, and nice of them to do this. Yesterday morning, my niece brought a creamer that my sister, her Mom, had sent to me a while back. She had put it away, and forgot about it. Thanks sis, it was one I did not have!! Then later she brought me some yummy ripe, red, tomatoes from her garden, oh did they taste yummy this morning on toast. :-) She also brought an album of old pictures from my Mom and Dad's early years, and I spent time up to midnight scanning them on to my iphotos. Such a treasure. I love the old pictures of my relatives. Don't you?? I had not seen some of them, and some not for years. I had looked for this particular one for a long time, and no one seemed to know what I was talking about, or had not seen it, or didn't have it, etc, etc !! Now I have a copy and I can make copies for my children. Yea!!!!!! So happy about that. Well, on to another jaunt this afternoon. Will write about that tonight. Ta Ta Antique Rose
