How you doing pal.

The wife went through a bunch of photos and here is one of her dad.

The first time I met him was at Lisa's sisters wedding. We had only been going out for a couple of weeks but she felt she had to invite me. But she was the maid of honor and abandoned me to my own devices. I went to their house between the ceremony and the reception and I met him for the first time. I went up to introduce me and he looks me up and down and goes "How ya doing pal."

Luckily it all worked out and we haven't had a cross word since.

Kind of looks like my ex-FiL. First time I saw him he pulled a snub nosed .38 on me and told me to hit the road. Turns out that was as good as our relationship got, despite the fact that I was married to one of his no good daughters for 23 years.

This is the face that has looked at me all my life and silently said, "I've got your number."

Did he have my number, you ask? Yes. And No.

I'll have to remember that for The Flower's dates.

HDHouse - what? That is poorly written, barely English, and it is meaningless.

"How ya doing pal."

This could be friendly or hostile, depending on how it was delivered. He looks like a man not to be triffled-with though.

That's what MamaM thought too. A visual and character blend of the some of the real stuff along with the previous and present TY avatar.

The light and shadow add to the yes/no does he have my number quality, making it seem more like a portrait than a snapshot.

Doo wasn't one for keeping his promises, but according to Loretta, "he never hit me one time that I didn’t hit him back twice."

Mr. Kelly and I are a lot alike. Most girls want to marry a guy just like their dad.

He and I sit in the living room and yell at all the kids to stop their nonsense. But you know whats funny. When they have a problem they always come to us....sometimes before they go to their own parents. It's actually pretty funny.

Kids know where to look when they need someone who will consistently deliver the goods, albeit humor, justice, mercy, or a fearsome combination of all three.
