My father turned 71 today.
That is him in the pic above. I like this pic because I think it is the only one I have of him in a museum.
We do lots of things together, he and I, and always have. When I was a kid we did the outdoorsy stuff he loves. Ice fishing, sports stuff. Camping. Now when I am spending time up in Maine we watch TV together most nights after my mother has gone to bed. Always the Red Sox if they are on. Lately the HBO John Adams series, if they aren't on.
But this pic at the Colby Art Museum in Waterville was our first visit together to a museum - at least as far as I can remember. It was on a sunny but cold February day in central Maine.
I think he enjoyed the visit. I really did.
Happy Birthday!
A belated Happy Birthday!
