I'm Haley Hughes. Right now I'm hanging out in the Far West suburbs of Chicago with my husband and two dogs, Loki and Thor, and pursuing various creative endeavors, from writing to photography. My latest project? It's the most ambitious of all. We're expecting a baby in mid August.

ABOUT THE BEACON
Successful blogs have a narrowly defined focus and are frequently updated. This isn't one of those. Nope, this blog is all over the place -- writing, travel, dogs, social, hobbies, you name it. And frequently updated? Don't hold your breath. But it's my blog and it makes me happy.
Feel free to look around, drop a comment, or maybe even subscribe to my feed. I'm friendly.

(Mom had gotten a vacuum cleaner for Mother's Day, didn't she?)
As for the story behind this picture... I'm not really sure. I saw it in my photo album the other day and thought it looked like a fun photo, what with Father's Day this weekend. The more I looked at it, the more I questioned what we were thinking. Obviously, it was a joke (you can even see that it was in a paper bag instead of being wrapped), but for the life of me I can't recall. I even phoned my Mom and asked her, but she didn't remember it. Perhaps, if my sister reads this, she'll chime in with her recollections.
Now a question for you. If you hadn't known that this photo was taken in 1980 from my caption, would you have guessed it was that old? Maybe the fact that the toilet seat was brown might have given it away, but otherwise, the photo seems rather devoid of clues as to year. Agree? Disagree?
(Oh look... it's going to turn out to be a goofy day after all! LOL)
Has the dad got an upgrade now?
@Claire -- The Dad received many upgrades over the years. I'm pretty sure that the lovely shade of brown didn't last too long and was quickly replaced with a white toilet.
