I love old family photographs. They make me smile. They give me insight into the people I call family.  I love them the same way I love learning about my family’s history. Knowing about, and appreciating, yesterday gives me a better perspective on who I am today. I’d like to think it helps me make better decisions about where I’m going tomorrow.

Yesterday, my dad turned 74. I thought it appropriate to pull out this photo. I’ve always loved this picture of him standing next to his 3rd Birthday cake. What a cute little beaner.

Happy Birthday, dad!
