Loving this HQCB #31 theme of Fathers Day or masculine with heart or love

 Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity blog!

This posting is in memory of my father who died on Christmas day 2008. Such a Renaissance man! U.S. Naval Reserves for 6 years. Associates Degree in Theology. Farmer (both crops and cattle). Truck driver. Farm equipment sales. owner/Editor/publisher of an agricultural newspaper for 6 years. Most of these overlapped and were repeated through his almost 72 years. Bi-vocational pastor. Husband. Father. Grandfather to my nieces and nephews. Oh! also small plane pilot! He even built his own little coupe plane that I flew in! Too many memories. Lots of family traditions.
