He loved exploring the world and here he is looking over the Isle of Mull.
He was an ink and watercolour artist.
He was a wood turner and I think he was happiest doing just that in his garage, despite the bellows that would come out of there if things weren't going quite right!
Miss you Pops.
What a very nice, very touching memory. I have many wonderful memories of my dad, too. Kind of a bittersweet blessing.
ReplyDeletearen't memories wonderful...
ReplyDeleteMy dad worked in the steel mills of South Chicago, IL. I think of him often and miss him more than any other person that has left this earth. I think the finest thing I can say of him is that he was a really, truely GOOD man.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have fond memories of YOUR father too.
Hoping that happy memories are bringing you some joy today.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful and meaningful photo - I feel content and peaceful looking at it. Did you take it?
