Favorite Photo – Generations Cafe Ancestry Challenge

Enjoying Memories

My dad ran across this photo when I was in high school. We all got a kick out of it. My dad had a great sense of humor but was basically reserved and conservative so we enjoyed seeing a bit of his “wild side.”

The photo of Gary’s dad was taken at our 2004 wedding renewal in Colorado. Gary always claims to pull it out when it’s time for a free round of golf. I really appreciate that both of our dads ­­­­­were willing to join in the fun.

What’s with all the Hats?

As I was looking through photos I discovered that there were many pictures of relatives in fun hats so decided to go with the hat theme in deciding what to share this week.

Years and years ago when Gary started to take his students to band festivals that included a day at an amusement park, Gary would purchase a hat that was dramatic enough for his students to spot him throughout the day. Over the years, he developed quite a collection.

When we retired, we shared this collections with family so the hats could continue to bring joy.

Of course, it was also a family tradition to wear the sombrero when celebrating birthdays at the local Mexican restaurant.

Remember, take time to wear the hat.
