❤️🌾 HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY, DADDY 🌾❤️
Today would have been my Daddy’s 75th birthday.
He was the first Dirt Farmer I ever knew, and even though I miss him dearly, I feel his spirit all around the mercantile. There are so many little things about this place that make me think of him—hard work, old things with stories to tell, farming, talking with folks, and making something out of what you’ve got.
So today, I want to celebrate Daddy’s birthday Dirt Farmer style. ❤️
🎂 TODAY ONLY — MICKEY’S PASTRY SHOP LONG JOHN’S ARE JUST $1 EACH!
Come and get ’em while they last! I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than having folks walk through those old mercantile doors, share a smile and enjoy a little something sweet.
Daddy, I sure wish you could see what this little place has become. I miss you more than words can say, but I carry so much of what you taught me everywhere I go.
Happy Heavenly 75th Birthday, Daddy. ❤️
I hope somewhere up there you’re looking down at your girl, smiling and saying, “You did good.”
And most of all, I hope I’m making you proud. 🌾❤️
