Watching and Waiting

This photo of your Dad was taken the summer of '97, sitting in his favorite spot on the patio. He would wait for the hummingbirds to come to the feeder or close to inspect him, visit with the neighbors walking their dogs, and watch the people at the swimming pool, (especially, the girls in their skimpy suits !! ). He was definitely a "girl watcher", for which I always gave him a bad time !! Often times, when I came home from work, we would sit together here and tell each other the stories of our day. To this day, I cannot sit on the patio without thinking of him.
