it's a beautiful day, i'm getting ready to head out to the river with walter for some exercise and fresh air, but thought i'd share a photograph with all of you that i don't think i've shared before. see if you can find my handsome father, circa WW2. i cannot believe how much he looks like my younger son roy, who was named for daddy, in this photograph. the age would be about the same that roy is now, give or take a couple of years. a hint: he is the only one hiding behind shades. cool, daddy-o. cool. what a pistol he was, and seriously? he continues to be. i know he is out there, watching over us all.
and finally, this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5TwT69i1lU
happy weekend, all. continue to offer up requests to the universe for those who are without warmth and shelter from the storms. xo
Yes! I do see the resemblance. Such good looking young men:)

Great photo! He is a very nice looking man--very sharp. I see family resemblance there, even with the shades. So glad you shared this with us. Have a great time river-walking with sweet Walter.

i have to tell you nina, we have been forever trying to decide where my son came from, as he looks like no one. i came upon a picture of my father and wow! there he is. love that sometimes we can't determine up front these things. i just came across this pic.

Your dad, wowee how handsome!! That song makes me cry for some reason, paused in this in-between spot...
I got my Japanese screw punch and am having fun making holes - ha - only an artist would say that, right?
I hope you are well - miss you

Oh wow! Gorgeous man. And he does look like your son, the resemblance is strong, even with sunglasses covering his face.
