Happy Father's Day!

Since this was Father's Day weekend, I went rifling through my old photo scans for a few of my favorite pictures of Norm and I and our dads.

This is me and my Daddy, sometime in 1987. I was three.

Happy Father's Day

This is where I rode to the babysitter - 1986. My dolly and I rode on the gas tank, playing with the radio knobs the whole way. This was around the last time I rode a motorcycle, until yesterday.

Norm and Rodney in September 1986. This was taken at an air show and was in the Chicago Tribune.

Norm and Rodney on the Allis D-17, in 1992. They still use the D-17 to run the auger and to rake hay.

This Father's Day weekend, Jenny was out of town, so Dad, Norm, and I rode up to Hillsboro for a little supper and fun Saturday night. This was the first time I've been on a bike since Dolly was riding with us. When we got home, Dad announced "this was the best Father's Day ever!". And it was still only 2am on Father's Day...it wasn't over!

Today Dad joined us for a fish fry at Rodney and Cheryl's. We had some delicious walleye "from the pristine lakes of Northern Canada" as Norm says...and it wouldn't be a holiday at the Norman's without some shooting! =)
