A 'lil HooHaa

Messing with the blogging world since 2005

Five years

August 17, 2012

A short post for today. Consider this a double-dosage of Snapshot Saturday as I’ll be back tomorrow with that feature, too.

With the hopes of not bringing tears to my mother or bringing up emotions for my brothers or other relatives, I figured this was something I wanted to do for this day.

It’s been five years since my father died and I will say not a day goes by that I don’t think about him.

I hope wherever he is right now, it’s full of plush fairways, true greens and lots of hole-in-ones.

Miss ya, pops.

This has always been one of my favorite shots of my father. Bad-ass James Dean like look!

    Can’t remember when this picture was taken, but I remember the jacket. It was around the time when I first met this man I would end up spending 45 years with.

    Damn dad was a really good looking guy.
    Being as I don’t know him in those days. Lol
    He could have been in the movie the outsiders.

    Mom 45 years was too short. He is missed every single day.

Harper is counting down to Santa Paws! You know, Harper is counting down to Santa Paws! 

You know, of course, Santa Paws travels with Santa Clause, making sure to find treats and toys for all the good little doggies! (We know they are all deserving, right?) So, Harper put out some milk for the big guy, carrots for Rudolph and the reindeer, and special cookies for Santa Paws! She is ready!

The colors in the sky were fantastic and the scene was nice looking (though, to be fair, I drove by what I think would have been a better scene -- the valley and hills full of snow etc.)

A video looking at my first year and a half of owning a golden retriever, my first dog. It's had its ups and downs, but I've truly loved the ride and look forward to the future.

I hate being in front of the camera, but also realize sometimes it's not the worst thing in the world. So, I'm getting better with it. Week 4's theme was all about us and having us in front of the camera, so I tried to come up with a creative way to do it.
