This guy (aka Dad) would be celebrating his 92nd birthday today. I’d like to think he’d spend it riding his bicycle around Lake Lemon, savoring his daily mug of coffee w/ molasses, sanding a plank in the basement woodshop, listening to Car Talk reruns, reading another work of nonfiction, helping my mom with a project around the house, & catching a movie at the local theater. Happy birthday, ABC! We miss you each & every day 💕❤️💕 @saracaswellvln & @rachelcaswelljazz
