A Visit with Dad



Our first stop on our trip to The Big Sky country was to see my dad... Hi Dad! Like I mentioned months earlier on my last blog, we did a lot of work around his house... including finishing the baseboard trim. Somehow, all the photos of that are gone... hmmm. I must have deleted them. Anyway, here's some photos of our time there:



Jeff was working hard... Dad, not so much. : ) Just kidding, they both worked their tails off the whole weekend! It was fun to see them get to know each other and work together...






Here is a picture of Dad and I between two of his other favorite girls... I couldn't tell you make, model or years, but they are pretty important to him. Someday, he tells me, they are going to be beautiful restored to original vehicles. Unless he decides to make them hot rods... it changes from time to time!






On our way out of town on Monday, we took a few minutes to stop at the cemetery where my Grandma and Grampa Mortieau are buried... Grampa passed away a few years ago, Grandma was almost a year ago. I had never been to pay my respects... I was happy I got to be there with Dad. I can't imagine what it is like to lose your parents... I hate that thought.
On a cheerier note... we had a great time and can't wait to visit again. Love you Dad! : )
