Your words paint a vivid picture of someone I'm sorry to have not had the opportunity to know very well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08896234338626642883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-419451516926715648.post-77301222917489267772010-07-02T12:26:50.439-05:002010-07-02T12:26:50.439-05:00When my parents opened their first store, it was i...When my parents opened their first store, it was in an old renovated gas station. We lived in the house next door. When they were ready to expand, they couldn't afford two mortgages, so they built a store with a huge basement apartment, which is where we lived for four years. When my mom talks about all the risks they took when we were kids, she says, "I didn't know any better." Sometimes that's a good thing. :-)Bobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846665855246867179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-419451516926715648.post-85930688315332924482010-07-02T11:12:52.089-05:002010-07-02T11:12:52.089-05:00One of the things I always remember about you is y...One of the things I always remember about you is your deep love for your dad. I remember how frequently you talked about him and how distinctly he influenced you as a person. This post makes me like him even more. <br /><br />Just last night Cal and I were talking about selling it all and opening a book store/bakery with living space nearby or above. Some great location and the people could just come to us. As usual I was full of all of the reasons we couldn't/shouldn't. The biggest reason being our children.... clearly you dad (and mom) were very brave. <br />I also don't think this was too intense. I think it was just the right mix of anecdote and patriotrism.AngryBakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17353130759155569342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-419451516926715648.post-57648073962911213332010-07-01T18:51:40.072-05:002010-07-01T18:51:40.072-05:00This is a fantastic post.

And now I'm in awe of your dad, too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09215557278096889044noreply@blogger.com
