Fathers Day

Fathers Day is bitter sweet for my family, having lost my Dad in 2003. I still celebrate with the many, many fathers I know; fathers from the church, fathers who are friends, family who are fathers. It's a time to reflect and remember some of the things I learned from my Dad. The good times, the lessons, the serious conversations we'd had. Each and every memory was a learning experience. I miss my Daddy and all his wisdom and humor.

So we went to Kevin's parents house to celebrate Fathers Day there. Kevin barbecued chicken dogs, turkey burgers, salmon burgers and he made pork ribs and short ribs too (for those of us who aren't allergic to beef).  We also had macaroni salad, deviled eggs, Thai salad, jello, ambrosia and cake. Cake for the five birthday celebrations we had as well.

Here are pictures from the event:





So then there were the birthdays. Little kids celebrate with their new masks and bubbles, clothes, dolls and make up, balls and leis. And then there's Dennis. The only adult birthday we celebrated on Sunday. Exciting stuff.
Dennis loves to fish and everything about fishing, so I made him a book and a photo panel.

So all in all it was a fabulous Fathers Day! And Happy First Fathers Day tol my baby brother Dale, I  love you bunches.

Thanks for reading, Em
