Happy Birthday To My Hero

I apologize for the quality of some of these pictures...they were all I could find 

My Hero was about 4 when this was taken.
To look at him you would never believe he was such

A Little Devil.

However, on occassion, he could be helpful.
I don't even want to know what his crazy mother was doing here.

Crazy-funny- Not Crazy Zingo...

After studying the picture I believe
they were plunging the sink...

He has one sister that owned
a real hippie van,...
yes she did!
( here she is along with her hubby)

I am sorry to tell MyHero that it's never

going to be 1966 again!He and his two brothers loved their Gramma Russell.And he especially adored his Grandmother and Grandfather KOS

and loved sharing the family with them.And he was a good son when his Dad was ill..

Doesn't Dad look like Yoda? The StarWars character?

Or..whatever his name was...

pictured here with yours truly

and MyHero's stepmother.

He's been a good Dad to the four kids.But an even better Papa to his grandchildren.

 They have discovered that he is always good for a few bucks

for a game of ball rolling.And, if one begs a bit,

He will read them a story.
Or tell them a bedtime story.
This was SUPPOSED to be
Goldilocks and The Three Bears
but Papa got sidetracked and
told them about the giants
in the Bible which scared
Ria so much she almost
peed her pants...

For fun he likes to boat-

Although we don't have a boat anymore..

unless you count a little rubber raft...
THE DINGY
Every man should have something
called A DINGY, don't you think?

But this was his own...

She was named The Glory...And he fancies himself a dancer..

Although ...well...you decide-He used to be a swinger....But now that he has calmed down a bit...

He swings like this...And, on a cold winter's night..He likes to keep warm..

And sometimes things just happen...

they just happen to him...
things like..burning of the underwear..

HOW did they get burned?

Let's just say....
never try to
dry your damp underwear
in a hotel microwave.
NOT PRETTY!
And, because he is a bit literal,

(although he won't admit it)

we don't tell him to do things like

Veg Out-

You can see why...Another year has rolled around and I think..

that he is quite handsome...

Considering that he is

62 today!

Happy Birthday Honey!

You did good!
