Thank you, Veterans!


My sister, the school teacher, asked me to email her a picture of Dad for a Veterans Day wall her class was creating.  Here is the finished product.


I wish Dad were alive today so I could tell him how honored I am that he was my father.  

Dad died at 53 years old.  Wow, that's young. 
 I miss him to this day.

A blink of an eye...  and you might miss it.  
So don't blink!  

Have a beautiful Veterans Day everyone...  
And to all those who served...
  
THANK YOU!

Gracie and I are still chilling from Blogger but we hope to be back real soon.  I am tempted to just get in here and start seeing what you all have been up to...  but then one thing would lead to another and before you know it, I'd be hooked again and this painting would not get done and neither would my book.  

Miss you all!  Will be back soon....

  3. I'm thankful for our fathers service to our country. I'm father passed at age 57. It does seem so young now doesn't it? I'm thinking about your book and wondering if it is an ebook? : ) Just me. If you have mentioned in your blog what your book was about I must have missed it. Keep at it and you'll soon be done. Oh happy day!

  6. I'm so sorry he passed away so young. I respect the veterans so much and owe gratitude to your dad's generation of service men for the freedom we have in Europe now.

  11. Hey there dear Bobbi and Gracie! Girl, I was so happy you had stopped in and left a comment on my blog.... I thought, "Oh, I hope she's posted something" and so popped over for a look - see. What a lovely tribute to your Dad. I know your heart misses him so; I am thankful for his service to our Country, and that of all of our Veterans...
    Hugs,

  12. Nice to see a post from you and Gracie, Bobbi! Your dad was young when he passed! Great tribute to him too; always appreciate those willing to serve to protect our freedom!

    You are so right about getting back on here and then getting "sucked" back in. We'll be waiting (and missing you) for whenever you are ready to come back. Good projects to be working on!
