I have a very dry sense of humor & folks (kindly) make light of it… I’m the BL (& bassplayer) in our group, Stauros Alive! #staurosalive , so I do my best to offer some ‘animation’ :D:smug:

My wife & I have been labeled (kindly) #TheFunFamily :laugh:

Welp - we’ve (unofficially) ‘adopted’ the young lady who sings with us (Chelsea) & her son (Roland)… today we had a #FunFamily outing - got some pics!! (Roland was with his daddy… as mom & dad are divorced)

Here’s an (older) vid of Chelsea singing with us… and a few pics from today ;) My wife & Chelsea actually got Celtic ‘Mother/Daughter’ tats today! Chelsea & I are getting ‘Father/Daughter’ tats soon :cool:

If I had ever gotten any ink, my mother would have slapped me into next week.
 
This is Chelsea’s (first-draft) for our ‘Father / Daughter’ ink :D We’re gonna clean it up a bit & not have any writing, etc…
The Celtic ‘Father / Daughter’ symbol is in the middle (our connection is thru my ministry work - based in The UK & Ireland) and there will be a ‘Bass Clef’ somewhere… she sketched one on the left side of the roots :woot: but that’ll change!
Mine will be on my left shoulder - she hasn’t yet decided her placement… :thumbsup:

I love this thread!!!! One word.... JOY!

Thx for noticing - and taking time to comment! :thumbsup: It is a joyful *thing*… my wife & I couldn’t have children - so, now, we have a 29 y/o daughter & a 4 y/o grandson :D (Chelsea, unfortunately, divorced her husband - due to his ‘dangerous’ behavioral patterns… I was meeting with him - but she is the one who ‘responded’ to offers for help & guidance)

I recently gave (Roland) a Squier Mini P I refinned in Sonic Blue :cool:
