My Sweet Dad

My dad passed away on January 2nd. Since his passing I have been overwhelmed with feelings of gratitude to have been born to Don and Dian Schliesman. Thank you God that I was born to parents who knew what You require, to do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with God.

Dad's Creative Shelving

My Dad also exhibits some creativity.

This is in the basement. It looks precarious, but actually held a lot of stuff at one point.

This one is in the garage.

This is my favorite. It's nailed to the garage wall, and is made of a wooden file cabinet turned on its side, then some sloping wooden slats, finished up with a dog crate. My sister wanted the crate, but it took us forever to get this whole thing apart!

This isn't a shelf, but I like it because it's made from my old playpen slats. I'm 57, so that tells you how old it is.

My dad and me in 1952. I love you Dad!

Double Wedding Ring Quilt

This is another quilt that mom made, called a Double Wedding Ring Quilt. Dad now has this and the matching pillow sham on his bed in the nursing home.
