Father's Day

Friday, for fun, I thought I would do an informal survey about fathers.
It was quite distressing as the majority really had nothing too positive to say about their father!
In fact, only one felt her father had been a positive influence!
WOW!

Yes, all of them sent cards, were going to call, it is expected after-all.

For me, my father died in 2010 - and was a train wreck as a man.
All of the men whom had been important in shaping me are now all gone.
sigh
I thank God always for those men.

My Cossack daughters joined me for Father's Day.
The others too busy ... it happens.
 And my oldest grand-daughter made me a wall hanging of pictures and a paper she entered in a contest.  It was very touching.  I read her paper out loud (everyone was bored in the Famous Dave's waiting area!) - not a dry eye in the house!  Yeah she took third place with her entry...

And what would Father's Day be without my mother calling to tell me that I am fat, stupid, do not eat right, and ripe for death! - if only I would follow her example!  Etc, ad nauseum.  I hung up on her, after-all she seems to have forgotten her 5 by-passes a few years ago..

But, add Famous Dave's BBQ and it was a good day ....
