The first photo was one of the first photos I took. Likely in 1961. The Amish girl was my classmate. The plane is the plane that I flew for  many of my total 440 hrs as a pilot. The last photo is of me and my son, enjoying breakfast because today is my birthday. Today is also World Photography Day, and National Aviation Day. So 3 things that make today special, and the reason for the three photos.

Memorable Day

Thinking about Mom today, since it is the first year that we don’t have Mom here to celebrate her birthday! It would have been her 99th birthday! It is also a memorable day, since it is the day, 17 years ago that we buried my father! So many memories! Facebook even reminded me that today was Mom’s 99th birthday. Of course, I didn’t need the reminder. This photo was taken at her younger sister’s funeral.

Happy Birthday, Mom

Mom is celebrating her 97th birthday today. I thought the water wheel, demonstrates how years come and go.

Birthday Leisure

After a early morning taxi run, I stopped at my friend’s pond, and spent at least 20 minutes taking photos. Birthdays are supposed to be leisurely, aren’t they. For sure, the 72nd birthday! Hoping for a great year ahead!

Happy 45th Birthday, Dustin

A nice coincidence for someone who loves photography!  I also have 4 friends who have birthdays on this day, as well as Pres Bill Clinton and Orville Wright! Pres Bill Clinton is 1 year older than I am, and the Orville Wright passed away in January the year I was born! Interesting since, I have around 440 hours with my private pilot’s license! Not sure what Pres Bill Clinton and I have in common besides our birth dates!

My darling wife, Alice took me to Jitter’s Coffee Shop in Millersburg, Ohio. I had a great 20’s Reuben sandwich! Delicious!

Ingredients: Rye Bread, Corned Beef, Sauerkraut, Mayonnaise, and Swiss Cheese!
