Really great picture Nancy. The mischief is clearly in his eyes 😁I also see love gleaming in all of your eyes. Quick question, what kind of beer is that? O, and the haiku is a fantastic piece.

My dad was a fun-loving guy, always with a twinkle in his blue eyes. I’m so glad you enjoyed my photo and haiku, Ernie.
Dad usually drank Rheingold but I’m not sure what brand this beer is. It might be Italian.
