Goodbye to Pau

We recently traveled up North to remember the Squid's Dad, who passed away last month. Pau's (Sonny's) brother and his wife hosted a wonderful get-together with a delicious dinner. It was really great getting to visit with extended family and old friends!  And it was neat to catch-up with my brothers- and sisters-in-law! We missed M&J, but hopefully some day we'll be able to visit with them, too.

Here are pictures.





Three Sisters-in-Law! ♥♥♥ (We missed you, J!)













The cake was beatifully decorated with a picture of the Point Bonita Lighthouse, where Pau was stationed while he was in the Coast Guard. The Lighthouse was near and dear to him. Someday his ashes will be scattered there.








Chris is sharing photos of the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Pau was proud of his granddaughter who works there!




Pau's dad was a champion corn-husker in the early 1930s. He won state championships in both Missouri and Kansas! I think that is so cool!  Look at the beautiful silver cups he won!


You can see the special corm shucker glove on the side of the biggest cup.






We'll miss you, Pa♥!

Here's a video slideshow I put together.
