Father's Day...

.... there are times that we think everyone must think we are BAD daughters. That we don't love our parents ... and that's because we aren't a gift giving family. Never have been--never will be. Yes we do Christmas presents although never in the extreme and usually birthday gifts but that's it. No Mother's Day, no Father's Day, no anniversary, no anything else. And we get the strangest looks sometimes....

BUT what we have are great memories of vacations out west every summer as children, shared trips to Europe over the last fifteen years, hundreds of weekends at the mountain house, and time spent together. SO guess what I'll take the memories over the stuff anyday.

We did light the new grill (that was our Christmas gift from Mom and Dad) for the first time yesterday and did Dad's favorite, bratwurst. Just a nice Sunday evening on the back deck--Dad really tries to avoid being photographed but Sandy managed to get one!!

LOVE YOU, DAD!
