How the time flies - huh Dad?  Now that I am older and wiser I know that this picture of you and mom must seem like it was taken just a moment ago.   How fast a lifetime goes by.  Here are things that make me think of you today.
- the smell of sawdust
 
- pecans
 
- bucket trucks of any kind
 
- fly swatters (from an odd memory of listening to a Twins game on the radio at Grandpa Schmitd's driveway) 
- horseradish
 
- rice pudding
- fancy flippy dives
- night shirts
- Vicks and white socks to cure a sore throat
- Camp Isabella - hats from Aunt Julia (where are those?)
There is so much more  - my head and heart are full of all you are for me - in memories and for real everyday.  I love you Dad - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
