Desert Sky

Both Monte and I slept great last night.  We lounged around in the morning.  While I worked on my photo project Monte surfed the net.  Then it was time to leave for Renee’s house for a lasagna dinner to celebrate my dad’s 79^th birthday. 

 

 

My dad is an amazing person.  He grew up on the mean streets of Brooklyn back in the 1940’s and was raised by a single mom.  After a stint in the Army, where he met my mom while stationed in Germany, he returned to New York working a series of jobs to support his family.  He eventually got, first his GED and then his college degree while working two jobs including driving a USPS mail truck.  A degree enabled him to get a better job with the USPS and eventually retire with a pension.  I am so proud of my dad and all he has accomplished with his life but the thing I love most about him is his generous heart.  I am so blessed to have him for a dad and although I am a grandmother I still consider myself “Daddy’s little girl.”
