HORTICULTURE

Tomorrow is my Dad's birthday. He will be 101.

I am noting it today because he always had to share his birthday with the Irish which he was not.

We are all "krauts".

I had a full life with my Dad. We had our growing up stuff, a predictable adult crisis and a final resolution. A three act play.

He was a wonderful grandfather. Pappy.

I still miss him after 21 years. It doesn't seem that long at all.

He was a great guy. Rough edges, soft heart.

I love to notice things that I do that remind me of him.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

It was a good tree.

I am trying to be a good apple.
