speechless...

That's my dad in the pink shirt and cowboy hat. He fought in Vietnam. Send him love. He's with his mother (97), his sister and her husband. The other woman in the hat is my step-mom.



In honor of Veteran's day I'm sharing this "christmas" tree with you. It left me speechless and I can't stop laughing...who would buy this thing?

Your dad can totally rock a pink shirt and cowboy hat because REAL men do wear pink!

Much love and appreciation to your Dad.

And lol, I can't stop laughing either! If you're taking a poll on the tree-put me down as a no. Thanks for the chuckle! That is definitely the funniest thing I've seen all day.

Hi Stacey's Dad! Thanks!

I don't know who would buy that tree, but I am pretty certain they would not invite me over to share some Yule tide carols with them.

Your dad rocks!
As do ALL the Veterans. I'm sad that they don't make this a big day. Schools should be off, stores closed. Without the veterans what have we got? Not much.

So a big thanks to your dad!

Looks like you found your cowboy.

Obama just announced he is going to call the traditional Christmas Tree a "Holiday" tree....

Perhaps this is the 4th of July one...

Love and thanks to your dad.

That tree is high-larious. Who would buy it? Probably several people in Appalachia. I ought to know.

My father fought in Vietnam as well. I have a box of photos that he took while there and his diary he kept. It really brought the war much closer to home/heart after reading it.
