Wow! It’s barely the middle of October and we are already under a blanket of snow! I’m not sure I’m ready yet…..but I guess I don’t have a choice. It will be Christmas before we know it!


Today is kind of a Melancholy day, as it would have been my Dad’s 89th birthday. He passed away 12 years ago in July.

If he were here today, I would have baked him some cookies for his birthday. He liked my molasses cookies the best! I would have bought him some funny…ornery…card that he would laugh at. We would have joked on the phone about how grumpy he was becoming in his old age and how all the candles on his cake were going to start a rip-roarin' fire! He loved to be grumpy and ornery….even if it was only a tease! Happy birthday Dad! I love you!
(I tried to download some ‘remember when’ pictures of my Dad to share but I couldn’t get my slow computer to work, so….they will have to come later.)
