My dad is celebrating his 98th birthday I thought it might be nice to post about him...
He worked hard all his life, he was a Chief Gunners Mate in the Navy in WWll in the South Pacific during many of the big battles.
He still lives on his own, does his own laundry, makes 2 meals a day, goes grocery shopping and yes, he can still drive and he drives well! Better than most people around here (and he doesn't gab on his cell phone while driving either!). Besides that his memory is better than mine or Mr. Wild.
And he still has his hair!!
And he still has his hair!!
A picture of him in his Navy uniform with his 1942 Plymouth.
This was taken when I was born, my dad, brother, sister and my mom.
My mom was born 3 days after the Titanic sunk, 1912. She's no longer with us, she passed away in 2000 at 87...didn't quite make it to 88.
Anyway...Happy Birthday Dad!
P.S....we're getting out first snow!!!

ReplyDeleteYou are fortunate to have your Dad and to be able to celebrate his birthday and his good health!
ReplyDeleteI lost my mother in 1998 and my dad in 2000, they were both in their 90s and lived good, hard working lives. If, we are lucky we have inherited their good healthy genes!
Happy Birthday and Congratulations to you father.
