Happy Father's Day - Still Dancing After All These Years

Happy Father's Day to all the great fathers, step-fathers and anyone who has taken on the role of a father in their life.
Above is a photo of my 88 year old father, out dancing with my mother a few months ago.
My parents grew up in the jitterbug dancing generation and they still like to get out once in a while at a neighborhood pub near my sisters home where they live in St. Louis. They have been married over 68 years.
I'm impressed that they still can dance!
Hope you all have a wonderful Father's Day.

@JohnRoberts - Ha ha! I tried three times to talk to my dad on the phone, but he went to a casino with my brother-in-law and had a fun Father's Day. I will try again tomorrow!
