foto friday...

Comment Published at 08:3708:3713 comments13 comments24 Visits24 VisitsReport

What do I have in my stash of photos??? Here is one that makes me proud...

MY DADDY.... :) I don't actually call him daddy but this is a photo of my dad when he ran with the Olympic Torch in 2000. He was actually in charge of the Harley's that road around with the runners. Any way dad got lucky someone pulled out and they asked him if he'd like to run with it.. So of course he could not say no to that.... IT was also the time that I got married.. Poor dad could only get two weeks off but he gave up two weeks of the Olympic torch Relay to come see us get married.... :) Anyway here is my dad...

And here are a couple of nice ones I just like taken over 10 years ago now, my parents went and stayed down on the beach at Rosebud I think it was, and I went to join them for a weekend....

Re: foto friday...

LOL As horrid as this sounds for us it is like a family game of who can get what when the folks decided to take their final trip up north to the clouds...

Dad will say look what I got who's gonna get it... Or I'll say I put my spit on that.. And I will try and get a photo but when you walk into my parents house I am not kidding when I tell you it is like a museum, they have amazing stuff...

Any the eldest card never really seems to work (ok with some stuff  it does). But my dad told me one day that I can have anything I can carry home with me...  SO my sisters favorite line now when dad says who's gonna get it is "You can have what you can carry."  Then she says "they won't let it on the plane..  She is a funny one my sister... :)

Re: foto friday...

LOL yep that is my mum on the left.. :) I get that a lot the sister thing...  My mum would love you guys.. :)

My mum is a young one... :) Very pretty, and you know what much and all I love a young mum, the only thing I did not like is that all my male friends would come to my place just so they could get a look at her..  I know this because I actually said it to a friend of mine and he went bright red and said "YES".  

Oh well... I just hope that when my kids get older that they have the same relationship with Hubby and I that I have with my folks...

Wow, he must have felt so honoured to run with the torch

I would be making a huge claim for that if I were you !!!!!!

Dad was going to give us the torch as a wedding gift but it was to early for him to part with it... :) Now there is a fight on about who gets it, me or my sister.. Oh the bummer with being so far away is that she has first dibs on every thing.. LOL
