Happy Birthday Dad


Dad on his 90th birthday
Today would have been Dad's 97th birthday. This is my favorite picture of him, taken on his 90th birthday, with his favorite fleece shirt (remember it was July) and a martini in his hand. A happy guy.

After he retired, Dad really enjoyed working in his vegetable garden. Brooks and Julia used to love picking peas. It was around this time that I first started getting interested in gardening, and planted my first perennial garden in Herndon.
