Remembering Dad
June 17th, this year is Father’s Day, but since my Father, passed on to his reward, I often think of him weeks’ before. He was a Chef by trade, but could do anything, plumbing, electrical, you name it and he could do it.
In the 1970’s, my husband and I bought a ranch style house on three acres, so we could have horses for the boys. After a couple of years, looking at the drab redwood 40 year old siding, started talking about painting it green. My Dad, would come out for a week or two to stay with us, since he enjoyed the country more than the city life , for a retired person “More” to do! Weekdays my boys left first for school, then my husband and shortly there after, I left for work.
Usually around 5:30 p.m. , I am driving slowly down our road, up and down the hills, and through the trees, I see lots of white – it looks like a White Elephant! It was absolutely unbelievable , what My Dad could do in one day! It had to have a first coat and he just wanted to see if he could do it. Thank you Dad!
