They are lifetime memories you are sharing to so many others too. I am reminded too when visiting your Dad how he confirms that tradition does add to longevity. He refuses to be too comfortable and stay only inside the home with air conditioning or too much heat so that he can remain active with all outside activities. He never limits life's activities by just sitting inside a too comfy home. I recently saw a good quote that I also think reflects you family's values - " Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, Today is a gift so it is why we call it the present". Fits you all, with the diversity and wide spread activities you give and share with all you encounter-- inside and outside of the entire world. Priceless!

My parents came to visit me in Africa 3 times--twice in Botswana...and everone loved them because they were so down to earth. Pop walked everywhere rather than drove and this caught people's attention and they would stop to talk with him. --Janet Thanks for visiting, Damaria...yes, you would enjoy him...and so would your mother and that generation...

What a great model for successful and fruitful living he is. In many ways, your descriptions of him remind me of my own father whom I lost several years ago and miss greatly. On another note. I finally answered the blog tag. See my answers at http://janetmuirheadhill.blogspot.com Thanks for sharing, The other Janet Janet, I love reading about your father.
