up in smoke, thoughts about folks, and who are those two




This picture of the family is a good mothers day thought and of course KJ's get's top billing. On the other hand I notice that I am a heavier guy in this picture, but then that has changed some.

Spent a night in the mountains at a Fathers and Sons outing. Slept on the ground. Hadn't done that in a few years. Wore my straw hat. Figured I would post the "hat" picture since the hat gave up the smoke at this event. Got sort of trashed and nothing left to do but let it visit the campfire.


Looking at this guy "in the eye" makes me wonder if I am really looking at me. I do remember my Mom when she looked like this picture. Faces change but in some ways we are really the same. The real challenge in this picture would be to try to recall or understand what were the thoughts of that day?

For no particular reason, if that is possible, I liked looking at this car today. It is a little like the one I had when "we" got married. Ours was a four door and the paint was a little faded but it still was a good year for some of the good Chevy years. I think that the best years were 57, 55, and 58. Not that it matters much but I was looking at a picture on the wall of a local "Diner" yesterday that had a lot of cars out front one day and took a picture of them. Guess that made me think of my old 58, and of course my old 55.






Already mentioned the hat, above. Guess this is the last time to take the state for the hat.
