Dad would have turned 87 today

We love ice cream!

Was going through a box of photographs for this year's dad post. I've never been interested enough over the years to do more than take pictures on occasion, get the film developed, take a look, then put them somewhere. Rarely organize them in an album. Almost never dated or tracked them. I'd gone through fifteen or so packets of pics when I got to the source of the above, where I scanned and cropped.

We were in the city of Calistoga that day. It was dad, mom, sis & me. I'm fairly certain my grandmother was alive at the time; don't remember why she wasn't with us. It was a warm day. Ice cream cones all around.

Maybe I'll post the full pic someday. Like after I've organized all my snapshots. :)

I love you and miss you, Dad.

Do you recall being spanked by rabbijeffty?
Gee! You'd think I'd remember something as titallating sounding at that eh? (grin)

I do remember Arizona and Larry and Jay. I was in touch with Larry sometime in the last couple years but haven't tried again recently. I keep thinking of him because of the reading/work I'm doing on Arts Education.

Ah. Right. I credit you with a large part of Ed's braveness about food. He still tells people sometimes about all the kinds of food you introduced him to. :-)

I don't think I have copies of any of them (can't swear about Larry/Jay because I think in some box somewhere I have some of those - but whether they are ones I took or ones you took is a mystery. :-)

Hm...I can't actually say that I recall this spanking, either. I'm tempted to think that Joey is just being provocative (he doesn't actually say that he has a picture of this, you'll note—just asks if you recall such a thing). On the other hand, I do have hazy memories of a number of playful shenanigans when you were here in California all those years ago... :-)

You do realize that you sound quite like either an old Hepburn movie or perhaps a Wodehouse novel right? Playful shenanigans. Heh.

yes yes... ah... youth! (grin)

While neither was my conscious intention, I'm quite fond of both old Hepburn movies and P.G. Wodehouse novels. So, if I come across as one or both, that's fine with me!
