Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine.

DeleteMy dad died at age 87. Sad he never saw his great grandkids.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo -- I'm sure it evokes many fond memories!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture! Sure wish my Dad were still around.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo! Just seeing your posture makes me think you were a role model for your siblings.
ReplyDeletePosture, oh my! I wish I had a dollar for every time my mom told me to stand up straight.
DeleteWhat a nice picture. It was nice of you to remember your dad.
