With Dad to Okefenokee on the Georgia/Florida State Line

On December 1, 1990 we drove to the south of our state Georgia, right on the line with Florida.

For a very special visit with Dad!

Here Dad and I are walking some of the board walks with clear blue sky as you see and too harsh light for decent photos...

Sadly, the original boardwalk that we walked with Dad, got lost in the 2007 Big Turnaround Fire...
See this informative 'The Okefenokee Swamp Park' video here.

Pieter and Dad together.

Pieter wearing his leather 'The Bridge' bag, precious gift from friends in Italy...

Okefenokee means 'Trembling Earth' - glad Dad got to experience this!

Enjoy this very short still video from our trip in 1990 with Dad, a guided boat tour down the original Seminole Indian waterways!
It starts out briefly with Dad working in our garden, sawing wood, with the assistance of a friendly neighborhood dog named Ellis...

You get to see a gator as well!

Blessing of our New Home with Dad being Present

On November 30 of 1990, our Pastor came to bless our new home.
It was very special that Dad, the Patriarch of our Family, could be present as well.

On Friday, November 30, Father Conrad Schmitt from our Catholic Church came for the special Blessing of our New Home around 17:30!
Just as Heeroom (brother of my Paternal Grandmother) had blessed the home where Mom & Dad resided all their married years...
We had our previous home also officially blessed by Father Toner, on December 3 of 1984.

Father Conrad Schmitt and my Dad in the door way and me...

Well, I still was preparing dinner for us to enjoy afterward... hence my apron!

After dinner, Dad sat with Father Conrad and we enjoyed a very special evening.

Even the cook got to take her apron off...
Too bad that poor Pieter the photographer is not in any photo but he got his blessing!

Thanks for your visit and comment

Visiting Museum of Aviation in Warner Robins, Georgia with Dad

On Tuesday afternoon, November 27 of 1990, we went with Dad to Warner Robins Airforce Museum.

As you clearly can see, we had a lovely, sunny day on November 27!
Dad loved reading all the information about the exhibited planes.
This Aviation Museum has been open to the public since 1984.

Next month The Museum of Aviation 35th Anniversary Celebration  (click on link).

Both, Pieter and I have been to the Museum of Aviation numerous times with our guests but it remains a very interesting place to go to!

It looks like Dad is shooting me in this picture...
Dad recognized several planes that he knew from WWII

Photo opportunity enough!

Dad really had a ball!
