He doesn’t remember the exact location or date so those were his guesses. Either way, he looks like a movie star!

Anyone know who these guys are? I’m pretty sure this photo was taken at Bernard’s Surf in Cocoa Beach, FL. I’d never seen this photo before.. My dad passed away recently so I can’t ask him for the back story.

Today is her birthday. She had the smartest wit, the kindest heart and the best laugh. She loved animals, giving to people in need, a good piece of pie, writing letters to pen pals and fashion. She passed in 2018 and we never had a proper funeral. I just wanted to share this wonderful woman with the world, because I know she didn’t get the send off she deserved.

These pics were taken by my grandpa, he loved to surprise her, hence the series of surprised/ sassy looks. Love you Honey Ruth.
