HAPPY FATHERS DAY....AND A BLESSED SUNDAY TO ALL!!

*************************************************************

These are the terrific father's: My dad and my hubby

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL OF YOU WONDERFUL FATHER'S OUT THERE IN BLOGGY LAND AND BEYOND!
Did you know that the idea for an official Father’s Day celebration came to a married daughter, seated in a church in Spokane, Washington, attentive to a Sunday sermon on Mother’s Day in 1910. You can read more about it here: Origin of Father's Day. This was really interesting!!

I hope that you are all able to spend time with your terrific Dad today; my sisters and I got my Dad a gift card from the local grocery store. Don't ask me why, but Dad just loves these gift cards. He'll browse through the store, or go back to the deli, and get whatever he so desires, then pay for it with the gift card. He likes to talk and visit with his friends in the deli, have a cup of free coffee (for great free coffee, come to our local grocery store!), put his purchases on his card, then walk home. He is a great guy...if you ever need anything, just call him.

Before he semi-retired, he used to mow my lawn when he had his own lawn mowing business, and he kept my yard so nice and tidy. Did I mention that this guy is also blind in one eye and missing a hand?? Nothing keeps him down, that's for sure. He has helped me so much in my life and has shown me the true meaning of a father's love. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DAD!! :)
