Robert

Robert, I think you look like Dennis Quaid... John taught me how
to post a picture, I just hope I can remember how to do next
time... I am slow in learning all this new technology but you all
have to remember that I did not grow up in the age of technology.
I guess I was still part of the industrial age.

Movie Star!!!

The Rockford Files and Star Treck... not movies ... 70s TV shows.

I watched these shows as a young girl and thought my dad was like James T Kirk and Jim Rockford. Maybe not so much how they looked, but you know... daring and dashing and wise and funny. DO-gooders. I have not seen an epsiode of The Rockford Files in years... I think the guy was a little scruffy / fly by the seat of your pants type. That obviously doesn't remind me of Dad but something about him did. He was a "good guy". Seriously, I thought my dad was Captian Kirk. I was so proud of him. Now that I look at the photos I think they were also kind of big chested like dad and he was sporting those sideburns in the 70s. Oh, this is rambling but cute, the other night from the bathtub, Rohan held up a cup of water to me and said that he had made a potion to let Grandpa come back from heaven and he would be back tomorrow. ah well.

I give Dana the "your comment ought to be a post" award again. so cute about the egg peeling Dad. I was listening to you and Sherry talk about going to Disneyworld with Dad and really wondering what that was like. He would have been so much fun.

Love to you all.... and it's almost Monday where is your Dad/Movie star post (excepting Becky)

Harrison Ford photo for Becky's post.

Movie Star

I think and Ray also always said he looked like Harrison Ford- I actually thought Ray was
more handsome than Harrison- but he does remind me of your Dad. Rough good looks.
I finally got on the blog with my son John's help. Yea! I just cant figure out how to post a
picture....John had to leave to go to a wedding. Anyway we usually saw all of Harrison Ford's
movies and your Dad could never get enough of "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

When dad passed on I wrote Senator Ted Stevens about my concerns regarding others in dad's line of work. I asked Ted to look into informing the men and woman like dad who may be at risk. Also it was my hope the government could recognize dad and those like him who in the end gave thier lives for thier country.

Which actor reminds you of dad ?

On Monday let's all do a who and why. Robert, I dibs Will Farell (HA HA).

Happy Easter

I have not posted in a while but that doesn't mean I have not been thinking of things. Its finding the time to sit down and do it. I suppose there are a few more ounces of that midnight oil but I've got to sleep now and then. I've had some sad moments lately - not quite as intense as in months past but nonetheless deeply sad. I miss him and most of all I stumble upon things I wish were still opportunities. Certainly on reading Adem's post today I thought how nice it would have been to share coloring Easter Eggs with Grandpa. Frankly I cannot recall coloring Easter eggs with him myself so I'm sure I would have enjoyed it just as much as the grand kids. I'm also sure that Grandpa and Grandma Becky would manage the resurrection story more gracefully than my clumsy rendering. My family and I enjoyed coloring easter eggs today and had a good easter egg hunt with hard boiled eggs and some good chocolate goodies too. I hope you all had a great day.
In this season of rebirth it is comforting to know that Adem and Melissa and Dana and Robert are working on their little miracles. I'm sure some of Ray's grace and wisdom will march forward in their little feet, a gift from his children and their parents. Happy Easter to all. May the warmth of the lengthening days reach deep into your hearts and remind you of how Ray would try to make you feel every day.
