Dix every year.<br /><br />I didn't get rides in the air (although I've flown hundreds and hundreds of flights while taking tour groups around the world), but I would go to work with him on my day's off when he really wanted company, type gov't documents(simple stuff), play school, and sometimes ride home in Jeeps with no doors, get french fries on the way home- and I always knew I was the luckiest girl, with the absolute best Dad in the world. :)Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08009790703790263122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131791948298843042.post-64264063402169077882009-06-01T18:36:54.113-04:002009-06-01T18:36:54.113-04:00that sounds to amazing to be true. not that im ca...that sounds to amazing to be true. not that im calling you a lier lol <br /><br />goodness.Affirmation Two https://www.blogger.com/profile/03401018651109695268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131791948298843042.post-36834538740896268932009-05-29T18:04:25.973-04:002009-05-29T18:04:25.973-04:00What great memories you have!!

Dad took us all flying, by tearing through the air, and by teaching us to view life as an endless series of possibilities. <br />Thanks, Ronnie, for this story. I'd heard it before from Dad, Mom, and Andi. <br />It's fun to hear it again from your always tangible point of view.<br />Give hugs to Joe, and thanks. <br />Love you- enjoy the last bits of St. Mary's spring.<br />TurtleTurtle Gunn Tomshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821223688546846237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131791948298843042.post-36251842734400779212009-05-21T20:42:51.517-04:002009-05-21T20:42:51.517-04:00Wow!

You were inspired by your memories and love for your dad and thus wrote a beautiful illuminating tribute that will live on along with your memories of your dad. And to think I wrote about my toenail polish for my Memorial Day post. I am bowing my head in a prayer for each of those who have sacrificed to keep us safe.Kitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04656468326879043257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131791948298843042.post-70198610304898109142009-05-21T18:29:11.069-04:002009-05-21T18:29:11.069-04:00Now I know where you get your pizazz!

(I've been guilty of this myself at times.) <br /><br />Your dad sounds like a great guy. Maybe he's up there playin' pinochle with mine nowadays. <br /><br />Hope you & Joe have a great weekend.David Ebrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037059701518103541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131791948298843042.post-70999880126991242922009-05-21T08:30:31.410-04:002009-05-21T08:30:31.410-04:00What a beautiful post!

There are rules for flying the US flag-follow them.<br />2. Stand up for the National Anthem.<br />3.
