My Dad passed away 2 years ago and I think of him everyday. He lived a good, long life of over 86 years and I have many fond memories of him which comfort me when I am missing him. One memory I documented on this page and that is my Dad and maps. We took many cross country road trips in the 1960's and 70's when I was a kid and Dad did all the navigating on road maps. He continued to use them even though later in life he had a very high quality GPS in his vehicles. I don't think he trusted them. On the rare occasion that he let my husband drive, he sat in the passenger seat navigating with his map.
I am entering this page in the Lasting Memories Challenge #514 Which was to create a layout with a throwback family theme and something that was symbolic of your family history.
I am also entering this layout in the Scrap YOUrself Thankful Challenge.
That is about it for now......I have to finish up a card that has been sitting on my desk for a couple of days so I may be back later to share that. Have a wonderful evening.
