SUMMER FUN

With temperatures like this no wonder my daughter and her two boys come over to cool off in the pool. Adam getting some sun and a little nap just floating around. Joseph with his tube stopped long enough for me to take his picture. Daughter, Deann and the boys having fun and cooling off. After they left I got my swimming done and just enjoyed myself.

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SUMMER

Summer brings us nice warm sun for swimming, fishing, and lots of fun For finding seashells in the sand For sunbathing to get a tan to do all these things and more at the beach and seashore Hope everyone has a fun a safe summer.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

A dad is...someone who wants to catch you before you fall but instead picks you up, brushes you off, and lets you try again. A dad is...someone who want to keep you from making mistakes but instead lets you find your own way, though his heart breaks in silence when you get hurt. A dad is...someone who holds you when you cry, scolds you when you break the rules, shines with pride when you succeed, and has faith in you even when you fail. ~Author Unknown~ Happy Father's Day to my husband, Karl, son, Kenneth, sons-in-law Bob, Brian, and Alex, and grandson, Eric. This wish is also for all my other relatives and friends. Have a blessed day.

FLAG DAY JUNE 14, 2012

You're a grand old flag, you're a high flying flag and forever in peace may you wave. You're the emblem of the land I love. The home of the free and the brave. Ev'ry heart beats true for the Red, White and Blue, where there's never a boast or brag. But should auld acquaintance be forgot, Keep your eye on the grand old flag...~George M. Cohan~ I hope everyone will fly their flag not only this day, Flag Day, but if you are proud to be an American, every day of the year. God Bless America.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEBRA

Wishing my daughter, Debra, a very happy birthday. You have grown from a sweet little girl to a wonderful mother and woman that you are today. May God continue to bless you and your family. Love you.

HAWK ON ROOF OF OUR BIRDHOUSE

I have been trying to get a picture of our hawk that I believe has a nest somewhere in the trees in our back yard. I got this picture when he/she was perched on the roof of one of our birdhouses. I hope you can see him/her. You can enlarge the picture to get a better view.

WELCOME THE MONTH OF JUNE

The Month of June... The month of June doesn't wait for me anymore because it comes and goes and everyday is a different day on the June calendar but I don't mind it at all. ~Aldo Kraas~ "Spring being a tough act to follow, God created June." ~Al Bernstein~
