No connection between the hat and the books and the letter D I suppose. Then again February is a month where I remember stuff

Dad always wanted to have a feather
with some color on his hat. "Yep"










February is my Mom and Dad's anniversay, this week in fact, and then my Mother's birthday, this week in fact, and then, later this month my Father's birthday. All February events that we don't remember the same way anymore. I think of them often. I remember interesting things. Checkers is something my Dad and I played a lot of when I was younger. I remember the first time I beat him but then I am not positive he was pushing as hard as he could but my guess is that he was. He was a very good checker player all of his life. I probably have done will with the game, course I didn't use a board nor did the other player always know they were in the game, then on the other hand, "maybe", I make to much of it all and maybe I am just remembering the real game, the ones with my Dad.

His "hats", another subject, were always a little odd from my point of view and then on the other hand maybe they were pretty cool afterall. My Mom's birthday, their anniversary, and his birthday were always remembered. I did a better job at it growing up. I would make a trip to town when I was very young, alone, and find the "right" present. Buying a present for my Mom always made me proud.

Speaking of February events,

I really can't see any tie in to posting a list of the books I have read or re read over the last few years and in the case of todays list all start with the letter D. Nope no reason at all in anything that I have said so far............."So there you go".

No particualr reason to post this list..............
