Strong to the finish...

I was out at Old Navy last week and stumbled across a shirt for Liam....
that reminded me of my dad...
 who was, like Popeye, "strong to the finish".


While driving into town just yesterday, Charlie popped in a CD I bought myself for my birthday. It was the Statler Brothers singing, "Oh Elizabeth..."

And I remember many days riding around with my dad in his little red chevy pickup; 
...and I remember him singing...

"Oh, Elizabeth, I long to see your pretty face..."
