What a great dad you had.<br /><br />Margaret, it sounds like you had a special father, too.<br /><br />Warren, that is totally incredible. No wonder you are a success at what you do.<br /><br />Thank you, KM. I try to be like him.<br /><br />Carla, I have some books on the coal mining towns.

Always leave an exit opportunity.<br /><br />And as we shoveled holes to plant rose bushes, "Your mother gardens. I just do her yard work."Margaret S.

I took the coffee jar and measured a heaped spoonful, added sugar, and then boiling water and milk, and stirred it all up. <br /><br />He drank every drop. <br /><br />Years later I found out that the coffee jar had contained gravy browning. It must have tasted terrible! <br /><br />Ann Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09729843278653034798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-41623552984077489862016-06-16T05:07:51.976-04:002016-06-16T05:07:51.976-04:00What a lovely story.
