Fall Fun Ride and a Boy Plays Hooky

[55 Fargo]

Hey all, beautiful day here in Southern Manitoba, 70-72 range.

My 8 YO Boy was claiming he was sick this morning, sniff-sniff, and he stayed home and IMHO, was just playing plain old "Hooky".

By the afternoon, he was ready to go for an "old car ride", and that we did , some 80 miles worth just around our area.

Here are some pics along the Red River In Selkirk Mb, the memorial is a combined WW1, WW2 and Korea memorial, at tiny Queens Park, along the river, that bridge is old Selkirk cantilever bridge.

The old building across the street is Gilbarts Undertakers.

It was a great day for a ride, had the car up to 60 mph on the highway.....

Sometimes a day of hookey with dad is a lifetime memory.

Fred,

The ride today will be memories that you both will have for the rest of your lives. A good day for both you and your son

We all get so caught up in our day to day lives that we forget just how short a life can be until it is too late. School is important but so is time spent with Dad, fate has a way of doing what we least expect it to do in our lives. We tend to think that we will do it next week and one day next week will never come as some tragic event happens to prevent it. Take time for the family and smell the roses the other things in life will get done in time.
