Over the years and 2328 days of doing this little blog,
many people have liked the Dad stories, so I will repeat one.
Let me preface the story with the fact that my Dad grew up during the Great Depression. It hit him, his family & everybody he knew, hard. It scarred him for life. He was beyond frugal, way beyond. He couldn't afford to go to school, but he could drive. He became a Greyhound bus driver, with many safety awards. He loved to swim and became an Olympic caliber diver. He made the US team, selected by famous Coach Sammy Lee. Two months later he had tuberculosis and was in a facility. He missed the Olympics and his dream opportunity. Life wasn't easy. He raised me to know that.
Home from boarding school for the weekend, at age 9, I mentioned to my Dad that ...DeDe, my roommate & friend at school, had allergies.Without missing a beat, my Dad said ..."we don't have allergies, allergies are for rich people." You would have liked my Dad, most everybody did.
As this Day 2328 posts tonight, I will turn 77 years.
Some days that number seems real, but luckily most days not.
WW picked me up for an early birthday lunch at Zov's!
We did a little Christmas shopping then home.
Once home Grandhunk#1 came by to help me
with my new iPadPro & pencil, he's amazing.
This portrait was taken with my new iPadPro!
Jordan taught me how to charge the pencil and some
of the many features, similar to his iPhone 10.
I plan to view some of the tutorials tonight.
So thankful and happy for this great & generous gift.
Thanks again Salloum Family & Grandhunk #1 for your help.
A smile for Tuesday ...
