Nice birthday post!..and a happy birthday to your dad!
Made me cry :-) I love Grandpa.
Such cute pictures. For some reason I never knew his birthday was on Halloween!
That is the sweetest post. It makes me love your dad too! =o) Happy Birthday to him!
That got me a little choked up too. So many great photos and memories of g-pa. I never noticed how often he wears red, he looks great in that color! And I also love that David O. McKay quote.
Love your loving post of your father. Paul. Teddy, and I all love our Uncle Dick. The photos are wonderful! It's so precious to see how caring he is to your mother, his children, and his grandchildren. You can see how they love him too. Happy Halloween and Happy Birthday Uncle Dick! (Who is the women in the black suit with white top at Micheal's homecoming in 1999? She looks like me)!
Miss Lynnie, that is Marsha in the photo...and we do all resemble one another; I love that about family :)
Thank you for your sweet comments everyone. Dad does not use computers so he has not seen this. I am going to print the post and comments and sent them to him.
I was wondering if that was Marsha! Thanks.
Happy Birthday also ;.)
Great month for a birthday ;.)
