"My daddy is my fav'rite pal . . ."


I've noted today - on FB, Instagram, and my personal blog - that it's my dad's 99th birthday today.
But it seemed like I ought to note it on the family blog too!  
 
These two photos are the only two photos I know about that show just me and my dad.  In today's world of total photographic evidence of one's life, that seems a bit strange.  But I don't think I have any photos that show just me and my mom.  

When you are the 3rd of 12, it's not very likely that you will have individual photo ops - and a camera handy at the same time!

Don't remember the top photo of course, but my mom says it's outside the house in Burbank where I spent my first 4 years of life.  

The bottom photo was 1979 - the year we moved back to California.  My dad always had a Banana Cream Cake for his birthday - unless he got lucky and got a Banana Cream Pie!!

And I'm wearing the first of the "Pinnies From Heaven - an apron by Granny Babs!"
