Imagine

Can you imagine what you would look like if you were 80 years old and put on a wet suit you bought more than 30 years before that?! Add to that the adjustments you made so the wet suit would be easier to get on and off; cutting off one-third of the legs and arms. Wow, when you consider all that, Dad doesn't look so bad! :)


This was actually a momentous occasion. Dad made a goal to go in the ocean in September so the last weekend he made the necessary arrangements to take the plunge. It took much effort. The least of Dad's problems was he could hardly breathe from how the wet suit fit.


Once we made it into the ocean, my glasses prevented me from diving under a huge wave so after throwing me to the ground, it tried to tear me in pieces. About this time Dad started wondering if he would have to save me. It all turned out to be a funny adventure but I have some ideas so hopefully it will not be so painful next time.

I was not going to put it up but Dad said Jane wanted to see it. He said he thought it was funny.
