Dad had a stroke about 17 years ago and I don't know how much longer he will be around. I've started sending him cards depicting memories I have of him. I have sent two before this but neglected to post save and post them.

The first was a cartoon if a time we were riding double on his little red Honda motorcycle in the mountains and we ran into a barbed wire fence.

Dad was a whistler. He whistled everywhere he went. Not everyone appreciated his talent. The second card depicts a time when Dad was grocery shopping at the home town Food Center and of course whistling quite loudly. Suddenly a pack of toilet paper came sailing from over the top of the next aisle smacking either Dad or his shopping cart with an adage, "Stop that whistling!!" He heeded the directive until a couple of weeks later when the owner of the store asked why he hadn't been whistling as of late. After Dad told the story, Bob the owner told him not to worry what anyone else thought. "Keep whistling," he said.

Only his stroke stopped him for good. :(
