Fired Up!

Some of you may remember that my dad used to be a smoker. He actually quit a few years ago before he flew to Hawaii with my sister and her husband. I think he was a little worried about that long flight and how he would handle all those hours without a smoke. Before he kicked the habit it was a joke among the city workers that he would always be out mowing, trimming, fixing and taking down trees with a cigarette in his mouth. One of our most memorable Christmas cards showed a picture of us kids with a gas can and dad with a cigarette in his mouth. The caption read, "The Olsons are fired up for Christmas."
