Happy Columbus Day!

Above are pictures of Christopher Columbus....the first one is Christopher Columbus the explorer and founder of the 'new world', and the second one, with his great granddaughters, is Christopher Columbus Daugherty Jr. That's my dad, and Yes, that is my dad's name. He was named after his father, Grandpa Daugherty was called 'Lum', never Chris. My Dad was called Jr. or C.C., his sisters, called him Junnie or June Bug, lol. To me he'll always be Daddy.

He will be celebrating his 83rd birthday on Thursday, October 11th. It is also my brother-in-laws birthday so we are going to have a birthday party for dad and Randall (my brother-in-law). And as I do every year, I'll make a big pot of vegetable soup (that's what dad likes) and bake a cake and have ice cream. So be on the look out for pictures of the party...it will be fun and exciting!
