My Dad. yes, it's blurry. yes, it's a photo of a photo (original taken by my sister in 1991 perhaps) but this is one my favorite pictures of my dad. We've always called him the protector of the pond. This is from when my parents were first putting it in. They had it for years, got rid of it then put it back in a few years back. My parents' yard isn't the same without this pond.

I talked on the telly with dad Sunday morning. I wish I could spend Father's Day with him. I wish I could spend many more days with him. I miss my parents. Oregon to Wisconsin is a long ways
