Celebrating with Ruth Ayres at Discover Play Build. and connecting with others who share their celebrations, too. It's a joy to read everyone's words of celebration. There are those "things" that count, and they are sometimes thought of as 'big' and 'little', yet they make my life the joy that it is, so I won't judge, just share. Here are a few pictures and explanations of some of the nice things this week:
I started the week having brunch with my son-in-law and my daughter and the grand-girls for Father's Day. What a grand father he is! And I celebrated my two fathers. My first father was a pilot in World War II, and was lost in a battle near the Philippines. I was two, don't remember him, but loved his parents, my paternal grandparents, dearly, so I imagine he was a wonderful man. The second father became my father when I was about six, and also fought in World War II, was stationed all over the world in the Army Corps of Engineers. He was a wonderful father to me, and grandfather to my children.
Today is my daughter-in-law Barb's birthday, and I am a lucky mother-in-law to have such a wonderful daughter-in-law. Barb and Nathan just celebrated their twentieth wedding anniversary. Wow, time sure flies. I'm celebrating them, and that they and their son, Carter, are coming to visit for this coming weekend's holiday!
