Throwback Thursday among other things...

On Facebook, Throwback Thursdays are for putting up old shots. 

I rarely participate, but it couldn't resist today. 

I posted 3 pics of my Dad...the best man I've ever known.

This was my favorite...

I'm not sure why I love it so much....

Old Pete was sure a handsome guy.

Maybe it's the youthfulness...

Or that I think he looks like baby boy in this pic...

Or the leg...

Who knows?

I do know this...I miss this man EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

I took my neighbor Helen to get fingerprinted this morning.

Then we dropped off the CRV for some pre-trip service. 

While the car was worked on, we walked the Edison Mall.

I really like Helen.

She's a native Chinese and she loves to explain and share her culture. 

It's really fascinating to listen to her. 

Back in April, before heading north, Patty dropped a cactus off here that she had in her Port Charlotte rental.

I repotted it and lookie....

New growth!

It definitely needed more space and seems happy here.

Phew!

Apparently, Florida can turn even the blackest of thumbs green!

Make it a good day!
