Happy Birthday, Dad

Miss you.



I felt I needed to do something on Dad's birthday. I'm still not able to dwell on more current photos or memories...too heavy for me. But this altered photo from years ago came to mind; it's a good memory for me, something that made each of us laugh.

About the picture...
A few years ago, Mom and Dad visited Jan and Dan in Oregon. Starlings were considered a pest there, as they shooed away other birds and snorked all the food. Dad enjoyed the opportunity to try his hand at startling them away with a BB gun and someone forwarded a photo of him; there were no starlings within view. I fixed that, after a trip to the 'net to find some pics of starlings. Beware of starlings that fill up a rocking chair.
