This Father's Day ...




This is an Italian saying we love to live ...

Eat well, laugh often, love much.

Father's Day ...




Father's Day... a great day in the year to honor our fathers.

Happy Father's Day to you ... Bob...Dennis...Corey...and Frank

Always leave enough time in your life to do something that makes you happy,
satisfied, even joyous. That has more of an effect on economic well-being than
any other single factor. paul hawken

Abundance is ... being blessed to be a husband, father & Papa.

Abundance is ... a father hugging & kissing on his children.

Abundance is ... a phone call to say..."I love you, Dad."

Abundance is ... a good father is a godly man.

Abundance is ... kicking back in your recliner.

Abundance is ... knowing your loved by your Dad.

Today is Father's Day... we heard an encouraging message in church this morning and
then came home to get ready for Bob's... Father's Day Dinner.
Jodie & Dennis & kids are staying around home today...Dennis started his day with a 30 mile bike ride...what he so enjoys...and then out for dinner at Sagebrushes.
Corey & Heather & kids are in Texas...at home....out for dinner and Corey is outside
enjoying & working in his beautiful yard.
Frank & Cherie & Collin came over for a visit...this is Frank's 1st Father's Day!
Collin is so adorable & so happy...just look at his smile...Cherie shared with us
how he can give hugs, kisses and knows where his nose is. Then they went to Ikea
to look for ideas for their new kitchen.
So...I got the Menu for dinner on the way...
Baby Back Ribs
Baked Potatoes
Coleslaw
Corn on the Cob
Sliced Tomatos
Fresh Bread
Ice Tea

I grilled the Ribs.....slow...let Bob kick back in his recliner until dinner was ready and the let him have the honor of brushing on the BBQ Sauce to finish off
the BBRibs....OMG...the best ever ribs. The meat just came off the bones...so
tender and all the food was perfect...We ate on the deck and the weather was so
beautiful. For the Desert Menue...Lemon Meringue Pie, Mini Carrot & Cream Cheese
Cupcakes and Mini Chocolate Eclairs.

We spent the rest of his day...together and it was very nice...but we missed our kids and our grandchildren.
I'm so thankful for Bob...he is a good man and a good Father and a great Papa.
