I believe the happiest times of Daddy's life were the 20 years he was in the Marine Corps. He was proud to be a jarhead.
Happy Trails,

Actually there's a story behind this picture. This is the day he met your mother. She was bowling in the lane next to him and mentioned to her girlfriends what a cute guy he was. He overheard her, bought her a coke and the rest is history!
ReplyDeleteAt least that's how I'll imagine it! :)
Marines are awesome! Your dad sure looked happy and so did the rest of the guys in that pic.
ReplyDeleteKit that is what Tom says, the dogs are the way they are because of you!! Dogs are the way they are because of the people they live with. If the people are not good people the dogs are not good dogs.
ReplyDeleteMy computure is not happy today!!!
I have had an awful time trying to load blogs, I have spent 40 mim. on your blog.
Hugs to the pups, Fern

Your old family pictures are great.
ReplyDeleteMy wife and I really like old pictures. She has just finished a DVD of 186 family pictures for her mother's 90th birthday. I'm sure her mother will enjoy it. Last February I made a DVD of old family pictures (some as old as 100 years)for my sister and took it from Michigan to Florida. She died of lung cancer 15 days later. I was so glad I could do that for her and bring just little happines.
Hello, your old photo aficionado, here, Twinkie :) Another wonderful black and white that perfectly captures the moment, the mood, and the happy expression on your pa's face. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteTwink!
I'm horrible at bowling, but still like going. Does that make me a loon? Oh wait, don't answer...
