Father's Day!

And missing mine, today.

My Grandfather who didn't have to be DAD...but did anyway!

And my (late) husband, Bill





Although we never had a child "together"...we had three of them. My two boys and his son.
Simply-
Our Kids. 

Missing him a lot today. I wish he could have met Nicole and Emma. He would have LOVED Nicole. He would have loved them both. Wish he could have been there and seen Aiden after he was born. Met Aiden. And I am so grateful that he had the chance to be a Grandpa. Had the chance to be there when Brenden was born. Watch Kaylee and Hannah growing. He thought the sun rose and set on Kaylee-Bug.

She was our first grandchild!
 And such a
"Grandpa's Girl"




James carrying on the Dad Tradition.  Up early to Sausage Biscuits and Gravy and Father's Day Stuff!




















Love the Deadpool Robe!

He surprised me with a quick note this morning asking if I wanted to go fishing with him today before the 90+ heat rolled in!

So off we went in the newly detailed Camaro...and don't ask about the 180 (half a 360) on the gravel turn-around...lol!

We be "drifting".





He deemed the morning successful as he did catch a catfish...photographed and released with the admonishment to  

"Grow up and come see me again!" 

Past the nineties now and inside soaking up the air-con...and he was headed off to see Kaylee and Hannah.

Cool, peaceful and quiet here.  Finished everything yesterday (A Cinderella Day) so that today would fall into the "Reclaim A Sunday" category. It is so nice I've been trying to do it every Sunday.  Nice slow start with coffee and the Morning Edition. Clean and tidy surroundings. Making biscuits and gravy. Dove back into Anne Proulx's new offering "Barkskins" which, thusfar, is very good. Jinot just died....why does she bring to life these great characters...just to kill them off!  Review later this week when I am finished. Also in queue for Stephen King's conclusion to the Mr. Mercedes Trilogy:  End of Watch

And...it is that time of the year, I may have to read his "Joyland" again.

So it is basically a "gone fishing"...play in the plants...read a bit...write a bit...NAP...cook some great food...paint a little...and maybe even catch a movie later, kind of day!

Have a Wonderful Father's Day, Guys!
