today is kind of a downer day... my dad would have turned 80 today
i was talking to my mom earlier and "the deep freeze" stopped working today... i don't remember life without that freezer - it's huge - like 7' long. i don't know how old it is, but my dad got it in the early 70s and it was 'used' then! some guy didn't need it anymore so my dad took it off his hands. that sucker just kept going and going. before we remove it i'll have to look for a manufacturing plate or something. it sucks my mom lost a ton of frozen stuff, but at least the expensive stuff like meat was in her other freezer (don't ask me why a 79 year old single lady needs 2 deep freezers... that's another gear grinder! ha!).
some friends of my folks from ontario called my mom today to wish her a happy birthday. they felt pretty awful when she told them that it would have been my dad's birthday... not hers.
just kinda one of 'those' days. here's to a better tomorrow.
