Uncle Bird

July 21, 2019 Carol4 Comments

My father always had a bird in his pocket. No, of course not really. What a mess that would be. Still, all my life, I remember children running up to him and with arms over their heads, waiting to be swooped up onto his hip, and shrieking to see the bird.

This picture is not dated, but based on my father's glasses, it was taken before I was born. He's third from left, my dad, and four of the other fellows are my first cousins.
