One of my side hobbies is to see how high I can get the average mileage on my hybrid 6 cyl. SUV. . *** #hybridsuv #mileage #itshowyoudrive #lexus450h https://www.instagram.com/p/Cri_fcCxsPQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dad would have been 88 today. He missed it by about two months — and I’ll still insist it’s because he was being stubborn. Sipping some of his good bourbon he left to me in his honor.

Beautiful turnout at the wake with so many neighbors and good friends of Jim and Sandy. Dad would have looked down on it all and been very proud he had this much love in his life. . . *** #farewellparty🎉 #irishwake #jimguentherforever #untilwemeetagain❤️ (at Beautiful West Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpsdg9NJvWT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

And today’s the day. Jim Guenther or ‘Papa’ reading to my son and the both of us taking the same pose a few years ago. Wake begins at 4pm to say farewell as the Irish do to Jim and my stepmom Sandy. . . *** #papaguenther #strikeapose #irishwake #fondfarewell (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpp_ewiJ50_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dad w/ his buddies aboard Jack Miller’s boat for his 80th birthday. We’ll be celebrating Jim by drinking his booze (see those other pictures) and remembering him fondly. All starts at 4 at his house on Saturday. #hisstash #irishwake #balticseaboat #huskydeli @kurtdg #artswest #goodtimes😊 (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpnScf8JuTO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So manhattans have always been my drink. it comes from when I was a bartender long ago in the late 80s and was making them by the dozen. And dad liked them quite a lot, though it wasn’t his absolute favorite drink, the Rob Roy. but you couldn’t mess with them, like I do with certain drinks. He always had to have his cherry. I like to garnish it with an orange peel. Going to honor this amazing guy on Saturday night, starting at 4 PM. An Irish wake for my less than Irish father. But he married an Irish lass, hence my name. #irishwake #irishlass #myfamily❤️ #manhattans #cherrydammit https://www.instagram.com/p/CplFQHJvLJK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Goodbye Big Gun or Big Jim. Stood 6 foot six back in the day and lived larger than life. He lived nearly 88 years of what could only be described as a very good life. He instilled in me my love of boats, Northwest seafood, politics, skiing. So much. This is him enjoying the boat with me in early October. After his recent hospital stay, just a few days ago we were talking about him keeping up with his occupational therapy so he would have no problem getting in and out of the boat this coming season. I loved you, Dad. I’ll miss you. . . *** #deathsucks #goodbyedad #largerthanlife #agoodlife #happytravels #oldboatersneverdie (at Filucy Bay, Puget Sound, WA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoB1r79OTYr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
