A Birthday

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.

cycling in rural Burlington where he lived

his only back country camping trip on Little Joe Lake (his name was Joe too) in Algonquin Park in 1958 ...
they sure rented out nice canoes back then!

Cheers Dad!

love you and miss you,
Wendy

  10. As you know, I know what you mean! This weekend was the anniversary of when everything started going really badly for us last year and we both felt it a lot. As you know it does get easier to deal with, but it is good to remember on days like this isn't it. Your Dad was very photogenic, thank you for sharing him with us!
