Happy Father's Day to My Dad

This is my dad and me a couple of years ago.  Through the years, my dad has been the strength of my family.  He is always a giver. If ever I benefited from a role model, it was him - someone who I have been able to look up to, admire and emulate in honesty, truthfulness and fairness.  A farm boy who moved to the city to be something other than his roots...which weren't bad roots...he and mom just wanted a different life and he found a successful and happy life therein. Through the years, I have been so supported with his love and understanding.  I am so proud of him.   

Thanks Dad - Love you and Happy Father's Day!

Where I Stand Sunday

It's Father's Day!

Being with Dad is important - made the trip to KC - seeing Mom is important too.  Sad news is she is still in the nursing home.  She was allowed to come to the Father's Day Celebration at my brother's house then we took her back to the facility.

It was good to spend the day with her and Dad and my bro and sister-in-law.

I took the opportunity to go by the art gallery in Topeka where my artwork is featured in a month long art show called the "Kansas 150".

It's up for another few weeks, if you live in that area and can get by to see it, it is a worthwhile showing of 150 pieces of ART done with Kansas in mind.

Where I Stand Sunday is an ongoing photo essay examining the different places I spend my life standing.

Too often we take for granted the everyday places we spend our lives walking on.

There are several others who also write this on Sunday, see sidebar.

Where I Stand Sunday

I used to dance -
standing on top of my daddy's feet
when I was a little girl.
He would glide my around the room
as I pretended to fly through the air
to a song that only he and I could hear.
I love you Dad!

Everyone knows the saying "Two Left Feet"? Well, here they are! Actually my brother's bare foot, couldn't resist being included. We had steaks on the barbecue, Sat. night in Shawnee and will see my nephew and his 3 kids at my brother's today for more celebration - for DAD!

In honor of Father's Day, to those who I know as fathers..Happy Father's Day, to my dad, and my husband, my brother, my son-in-law, my stepson (who will be a father by the end of the summer), my nephew, my friends - who are fathers! This is your day, so get out there and enjoy it!
