https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DaddyBear/I've created this special blog for sharing memories of my dad, Raymond Woodford Phillips, who passed away on February 2, 2004.hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DaddyBear/314972... and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss him... Earlier today, I tried to join a MSN Group about the history of Ft. Benjamin Harrison where my dad spent many happy years as an Army brat, but there was something screwy going on with the MSN site. I'd forgotten my password from...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DaddyBear/284708...and wanted to share them here!https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DaddyBear/278991This morning, I got to thinking of the nursery school teacher who pounded me on top of my head for what she saw as bad table manners (will be writing about this a little later) and how, even at such a tender age--during the last days of being four or the first days of being five--, I knew what...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DaddyBear/274635I was reading a review at Epinions.com about a special couple who decided to honeymoon in New Orleans--which brought to mind the fact that this was where my folks honeymooned back in February of 1947. They stayed in a place that was then called The Jung Hotel (either that, or else simply Jung...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DaddyBear/232091It's hard to believe that it has been nearly a year and a month since we received the early-morning call from the nursing home that Daddy had passed away during the night. Life has gone on for us--yet there isn't a day that goes by when we aren't sorely reminded at least once of how very much...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DaddyBear/222309The piece that I'm providing the link to mentions Daddy--but it isn't primarily about him. Yet it is, in a lot of ways. A feeding tube is mentioned in it--and Daddy had one of those. And it's, in part, about someone who has been very near and dear to both of us as well as to my mom celebrating...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DaddyBear/212914For some reason, my computer keeps refusing to do things that it should be "normal" for a computer to do. Anyway, I'm going to try to post a picture (the one that was supposed to go with my last post) now that I've put it in a parking lot. It has its own URL--which looks rather strange to me--so...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DaddyBear/208636*A PICTURE OF YOU AND I By: Kerry James Smith Muncie, IN December 11, 2004 Memories of you still make me smile. Like the sun always shines and the clouds that pass me by. A thought of you remains, a picture of you and I. To carry with me until the end of time. The guy who wrote the poem is an...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DaddyBear/197341From now on, this story will continue here--but here is the link to where I first started it!https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DaddyBear/193615While Googling this precious actor I met back in 1973, I came across this comment I left in 2003 on November 22 and thought I would share it here...
