Well, as you may have guessed, being a mommy of two does not leave me with a lot of blogging time. I'm lucky to keep from drowning in my e-mails.
Since yesterday was Father's Day, I thought I should say a little about my father. His name is D (not to be confused with my sister, DQ) and has beed a wonderful provider for our family. He always gave 101% or more to his work, but only when he was at work. When he was home, he was home and that was a blessing.
I remember our times together as very pleasant, unless we were working on my homework. Poor man, I just couldn't get math; I still can't.
We did many things, but there are two things that stand out in my mind.
1) One summer, my sister, dad and I built an A-Frame club-house in the back yard. We worked on that for the longest time. He showed me the meaning of hard work and good materials. That must have been almost 15 years ago, but it is still up and useable today, only now it holds yard tools and not play things.
2) He was always involved in Barbershop. That man loved to sing, and he still does. He is even the director of the local chorus and they are great. It saddens me to think of how few people still enjoy this beautiful kind of singing.
I would like to end this post with a link I would like you to follow. If your own father is still with us or has passed on, I think it will touch your heart.
Here's to you dad...
