I've forgotten which day it is....

But it is the end of the day, September 10, 2011, I do know that! We have had a hot end to the summer in Southern Oregon, but the lovely cool nights that make sleeping a great joy.

The picture today is one of my father, Val E. Dayton, taken in about 1905, I believe.  He was born on December 21, 1903, the day the Wright Brothers first flew, and died at 65, on November 5, 1969.
I remember that he hated his curly hair, and his mother told us a story about him telling a little girl who was complimenting him on his curls...."Well, you can HAVE them." He would have loved the Internet, I think, because he was always an "early adopter"....we had one of the first remotes that I remember for our TV and garage door, and he loved to splice film and create his own movies. You are missed, Dad.
This is one of those photos that I need to have restored, so this is a good reminder for me.
