This was my facebook post today:
"Listening to this at 8:00 tonight with a wee rye and ginger..."them good ol' boys were drinking whiskey and RYE," that, and it was my dad's drink of choice.
Here's to you, the best dad I could have ever asked for, who passed away 17 years ago today, on FRIDAY January 8, 1999 at 8:00. ❤️❤️❤️ 🍻 ❤️❤️❤️
Every day was hard for a long time, but got better. Fridays were hard for a long time, and got better. The 8th of the month was hard for a long time, but got better. The 8th of January was hard for a very long time and got a little less hard, but the 8th of January falling on a Friday...NOT BETTER."
I must have listened to this song hundreds of times with my dad...love it and all the memories attached, especially listening to this on the truck radio/CASSETTE player driving around on the back roads.
Listen to American Pie by Don McLean on @AppleMusic.

In other news today:
I bought myself a tuque I actually like and will actually wear! Billabong, lined inside with fleece, so no scratchy/itchy forehead...yes!
Darcy of course had to try it on, too.
