Father's Day Weekend

Growing up, I can always remember my Dad being a hard working person. He always believed in putting in the extra time and effort to get a job done. And as hard working as he was, he was just as giving as well. He's the type that would give to someone without them knowing, because after all, he never wanted the recognition for the good things he did.

He always told me I could be anything I wanted to be with goals, persistence, and a little determination. He taught me that losing was OK, so long as I got back up and tried again. Those heart to heart talks growing up seemed tough, but ultimately he always pointed out the silver lining to the cloud. I am thankful for such a wonderful, giving, loving father.

Happy Father's Day Dad!

Some of my favorite photos of Dad and I over the years...





One of our many family vacations at Fort Wilderness


A Sunday afternoon ride...


Having dinner at a small Italian "hole in the wall" restaurant in Las Vegas, 1994

The signature look...

After a few days of this, he's beginning to fit in with the crowd. This is the signature look of my handsome boy Stormy. He is ruling the roost (2nd place) just behind the girl.

So far, he's not that in to food/begging (lucky for me) but he does have a thing for towels...and this big rope that all the kids have played with over the years. So far, no one's destroyed it past recognition. (even in the jaws of Bailey) This thing is beyond durable. Wish I could remember where it was purchased.

I've been out numbered...

Meet Stormy, he's the latest addition to my hound dog clan. Is this just a coincidence or is someone dropping hounds off near my house?


Bailey and Stormy are best buds...they love to play, even though Bay is 5 times bigger.


When he first arrived, Lucy and Bailey gave him a good sniffin'


Ah, what Mommy loves...the end of the day when everyone is very tired and passed out. How cute is this?!

Things change here overnight...

...literally! It's a different world outside every morning.




As you can see, the garden is shaping up and filling in nicely. I can't wait until the harvest.

Wildflowers

The wildflower garden is starting to emerge...


Everday new things are coming up.
