Family Pictures At Work
This week I began my 24th year at the my place of employment. When you've been someplace for 24 years, you accumulate things. One of the things I have accumulated over the years is pictures. Here are some of the pictures I have in the proximity of my desk in my department. (there's some glare on some of them. I tried to get a better picture, but from my vantage point, that's as good as you get.)
I am a 50+ year old grandfather, father & husband. I am very quiet, just ask my wife & daughters (and watch their eyes roll). I teach 3rd & 4th grade in Sunday School & work in the metal cutting field as a profession.
I have a 90 degree bend to my sense of humor, so odd thing catch my attention & make me laugh.
The title "Upon His Hind Legs" come from a phrase in the book "A Little Better Than Plumb" by Janice Holt Giles. I highly recommend this book to all couples.It refers to the normally quiet husband (like me) who when riled, can and will rise upon his hind legs and let out a roar like a lion or bear.
I began blogging at the suggestion of my oldest daughter, to chronicle my childhood stories. They can be found in my weekly column "Flashback Friday".

Whenever you reach that magic age of retirement, you will need a box just to pack pictures! I'm thankful you are such a family man!
Nice final parting shot there Dad ... wow. There are some memories on that desk!
