Here we are at June 18th

 TERRY

Terry is reading the paper as I write.  She woke up about 7:00 and is doing fine.  I would say over the last few days she is good.

 So it is 8:30 and I just may wander over to the tennis courts this morning to see who is there.  I usually do not play on the weekends but I may today.  If there are too many or too few I will come home.

I will again try to get a an important letter off today.  I tried Thursday and it did not get there as I over nighted it.  I will try again today but will require a signature so that should help.  We will see.

Well here it is the 19th as I got sidetracked and did not finish yesterday.

First a happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there.  I hope the day is special and you Dads get the praise that you deserve.

I will spend most of my blog on the day, Fathers Day.  I am so thankful for Dad.  Was her perfect?  No, in fact he was far far from that in some ways.  BUT I loved him and as I grew up I wanted to spend time with him.  During the times he would hit fly balls to Dave and I in the yard I could see him playing baseball as a young man.  In the first years of his marriage the local guys had a baseball team and the girl friends or wives would be there to watch.  I thought he was probably a very good player!

He was a very talented man.  He could overhaul an engine.  He could shoot with the best of the guys.  He could wire a house and he did several of them.  He was unmatched as a photographer which he did for a living as I think he took 100s of wedding pictures.  

I craved spending time with him.  I really don't know why as he was not a big talker but just to be with him was grand.  He was a doer.  From bale hooks to rope making to using the forge to make things he could create what he wanted.  So I have great memories of Dad on this day.

On to our family.  I am so proud of John, Aaron and Mike.  They are great fathers and deserve the very best today.  I hope they have a great day.

I really have little to say today.  I think I will let it be as it is with my writing and sign off for now.  I do have my FP so will linger on the computer for a time before I go on to something else.

Dad where he shined, hunting and photography.
