from the "olden days"
Last weekend I picked up a few photographs and things that my biological father's caretaker thought I should have. It's been interesting sorting through them and seeing what he looked like when he was a little boy. I thought I would share some of them here. There were lots of photographs from when he was young and he even kept some of his cub scout cards from 1948. Coming from a scouting family I thought these were very interesting. There was even a couple of pictures of me that I had given him through the years...I thought I would share those too. Scroll over each picture for a few more tidbits.

Joni, I loved these! How precious it is that you have them and you're Dad was a darling little one!
You are a beautiful intelligent woman and the photos of you show the kindness in your eyes even at such a young age!
Priceless, hon...
Dear Joni, I am sitting here trying to sort myself together. I resolved myself to the idea a long time ago that I am not able to read every post of all my dear blogger friends. The down side is that I miss things, important things that happen in their lives, your life.
I just scrolled down and read your post about your biological father. Thank you for being so open and sharing your thoughts and heart. In many ways, I think I can relate to your feelings. I can remember clutching onto little stuffed bears that my dad would give me on those yearly visits. I too clung to them because it was tangible and represented all things questioned and unanswered in my heart.
I am so glad that you were able to spend time with your father before he passed. It sounds like you were able to forge a pressent relationship on those drives and create memories to cherish.
And thank you for sharing these pictures. It is nice to "meet" you. :-)
"Tender Grace" ... this is the message whispered within in response to these images of You.
Lovingly ...
You look so beautiful in your pictures, and your dad was a cutie. I just went back and read an older post about him. I love how you expressed yourself.
My dad passed in April of 1990. He lived in the next town, but I rarely saw him until the last couple years of his life. Even with all his flaws, I couldn't help but love him. I hold onto the sweet memories. In the end, that's all that matters.
Blessings!
