Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men

As you can see from the time that has passed between posts.

My life is crazy, right now.

And I had such grand plans to tell you all about my wonderful father. Now, look, June is gone, and I didn't get-her done.

Oh, well, now, we are in July.

And still I'm struggling to get things done. Since traveling to Texas for my father's 90th birthday, I've made a trip with my son to University of Tennessee for his freshman orientation. Then I've traveled to Illinois several times with my husband.

A Car

Why is that we all love to have our picture taken next to our car?

Is it because it is one of the biggest purchase we make?

As you can see my dad was a looker. A man of simple means, he enjoyed his ride and changed his own oil on almost every car he owned.

June Celebration

To celebrate his life, I plan to show off a number of old pictures and let you in on the wonderful people in his life. This picture is of my father while he was in the military. He served in World War II. He had a several brothers who also served in the war. One was part of the team that held load the bomb that was dropped on Japan. While another one landed on the beach in Normandy.

Luckily for us, they all returned from the war.

Hope you enjoy this tribute to m...
