Wishing he were here

Kathleen and I are in Paris, having just led a tour group from AAA Signatours travel here to experience Paris as we did when she attended Le Cordon Bleu. Last year my dad, his wife, and his good friends Eric and Joan from England were to join us on our research trip to Paris. My dad was disappointed they couldn't make it then and we were all hoping he would be here with us now.

He is here in my heart. Here's one for you, Floyd!

Thanks to everyone who raised a pint to my dear ol' dad in May. I'm sure it meant a lot to him and certainly did to all of us wishing he was still with us to make us laugh and sing.

Celebration... what's on tap

After talking to my dad's most loved friends (which is all of you, but I don't have all your numbers), we came to the conclusion to celebrate his life doing what Floyd enjoyed most. Gather all his friends around a campfire, water, boats, food, and yes - a few beers too - and just have a good time.

But like all good things, we have to wait until summer for the party.

What

An outdoor gathering of Floyd's friends

When

Late June or early July on a Sunday or Saturday
(I want to make sure y'all can be there, and to give you time to plan)

Where

An outdoor setting. Spokane area, probaby north Idaho on the lakes he loved so much
