Kite Flying on Good Friday



Kite flying is a big deal in Bermuda, especially on "Good Friday".  
All business are closed tight, so friends and family can enjoy the day.  
People are having picnics, flying kites, playing games; 
just enjoying time together.  It was great!  
We ventured out to fly kites with our elders, who had made a home-made kite (which is tradition here).  We've made a new friend who sold kites and he cut us a sweet deal.  
Dad loves to fly kites.....so he was in hog heaven!

"It is a wise father who knows his child.  But maybe it's a very wise child who takes time to know his father." -Anonymous What questions I would ask if I only had moments again with both Grandfathers and my Dad!  It seems time was fleeting, then gone.  What I would give for a few more minutes.   I miss them! My Grandfather Phillips and my very young Dad The 50's were great! "Old as she was, she still missed her daddy sometimes."  Gloria Naylor Grandpa Frank with Bart and Byron, priceless! Collin, Dad and Benjamin ; ) I always said I would never mar...
