Marking a birthday

Here's a little Johnny Cash in honor of my dad, who would have been 85 today.

He bought me my first Johnny Cash record, and I can picture him now, out in the garden, listening to Johnny on his portable cassette player, pulling weeds or harvesting corn or tomatoes. Or maybe sitting out on the deck, relaxing at the end of the day, listening to some music.

Nothing but Cash on my iPod today.

My Dad would have been 79 on Jan. 7th, so I'm with ya, girl, in honoring our fathers. Take good care.

Great post, Lorena. And aren't you glad he didn't buy you a Barry Manilow album?

Lorena said...

Thanks, Vero,, and thanks, Andy, but are you saying there's something wrong with the man who writes the songs that make the whole world sing?

Hey Lorena,

Here's to your father.

And to Johnny Cash!
