Barb, Mom called this morning and told me about your dad. I am so sorry. I remember the playhouse he built for us and the hours of fun we had in it.I remember him gardening and the beautiful flowers the yard had and picking some bug out of the trees and him paying us a penny a bug. Can't remember what they were called. Staci
