Sunday my husband Avery celebrated his birthday. A date he shared with my late father and my late cousin Chuck and also my cousin Kay.

I like road trips, Avery likes airplanes. love is...shares the best ...
I colorized this b/w photo. I feel like it shows their facial expressions so beautifully. My dad was the best and although I miss him, I am grateful they are not here to witness what is coming next in this world.
Happy Heavenly Birthday Dad .

Having been raised by happy people in a happy neighborhood, my childhood was like a dream.
Oh Maxine! You don't look very happy!
Covering Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. I lost my post late Sunday night here so had to recreate it and yesterday was a wild ride of a day.

Love the charades/family fingers! You guys must really crack each other up.
Speaking of cracking up ... I'm still lol-ing at the Maxine toon. Have a blessed day!
I worry what my children and grandchild must deal with now and in the near future.
