Today is my dear ol' dad's birthday. As most of you know, he passed away in March of this year, and sadly we will not be celebrating with him anymore. Today he would have been 94. He had a good life, but I sure miss him today.
Happy Birthday Dad!
These photos are how I remember him best ... always enjoying a good long bike ride
and enjoying the sunshine.
