Grandpa Creech

Love that hat
those boots
that familiar pose

I have his bones

    Love that cardigan and those arms resting on his knees.

    I think it is sad that the tradition of wearing a hat has faded out, both with men and women. He is a handsome fella.

    Mighty fine bones to have, by the looks of them!

    One of my favorite poems is "I Knew a Woman" by Theodore Roethke, which begins, "I know a woman, lovely in her bones..."--a highly erotic poem.

    Love the photo of your father with the reminisce of "I have his bones..."

    Your grandfather was very dapper. Great photo!

    Is there a Kentucky connection within your family? I vaguely remember a mention. . . although I've been wrong before.

    Love the image. Reminds me of my grandfather who worked on locomotives in Schenectady. He would pull me up on his lap sitting at the kitchen table and sing me songs in a half dozen languages. There were immigrants from all over the world where he worked so you had to be bilingual to survive.
