Bonus Post: For My Father's Birthday
My father was born on July 7, 1916. He died in the year 2000, and mother died four years later.
These pictures are from one of their photo albums from before I was born. My parents had hiked up to Mary's Rock from Skyline Drive and took these photographs at the top of the mountain.

It's a beautiful place - I can see why they loved it there.
ReplyDeleteWell worth the climb! Nice photos.

ReplyDeletehow sweet.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful old shots... and a fitting place to scatter ashes.
ReplyDeleteWow. Those photographs are a really nice find. Thank you for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteVery memorable.
ReplyDeleteOh what a great post, Linda... I'm sure that will always be a fantastic but emotional memory for you and the family...Love the old photos...
ReplyDeleteMy Daddy died in 1969 and Mom in 1991... I still miss them both.
George and I want our ashes scattered over a waterfall --probably Fall Creek Falls (Cane Creek Cascades). As you probably know, we both LOVE waterfalls.
Hugs,
Betsy
