You said you would post some pictues of you at an early age with your dad. These are great pictures and you looked like a sweetheart back then too.
I love the old black and whites.
LOL:)
Patty,your parents at 15 and 19 look like two very responsible adults! "Teens" today should really get back to that lifestyle.
Our country would be a better place.
Wonderful quotes. Very nice-looking family.
Happy Sunday to you.

Nice quotes, and two beautiful pictures! You were a cute little girl, and your father was handsome. A good looking family! Thank you for sharing.
Good night, Patty.

I don't know who said it, but I really liked this one:
"There is an irony that by the time you have realised that your father was right, you have a child that thinks you are wrong"
Thanks for the quotes, they are
great ways of honoring fathers. Your family photos are beautful.
Such a lovely family. You were adorable and so sweet-looking.
The second photo reminds me of myself and my sister in the '40s. I was the older one with dark hair and always with a big bow and my younger sister had blond curly hair. Brings back a lot of memories. Thanks for the photos
I love old photos ...these are so special. Our Mom eloped with Dad at 16...her parents never forgave him. In fact, her father, I think
hated Daddy the rest of his life. Daddy love Mom so much. They should have saw, she had a good life filled with love.
