I've been in my own boat sitting out in this water looking at this view. Awesome!-Sandee. This is a Tip of The Hat to Sandee, my Co-Author and blog wizard.

The Blogger's Prayer

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck, manage to visit all that visit me, and post regularly - all in 5 minutes a day, so that I can clean house and take care of my family. Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post, and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well. Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life. And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.

Fathers Day

I will forever be grateful for Fathers Day 1984. It was the last one that I had with my father alive. I am grateful that I managed to tear down the invisible wall that existed between him and me.

I had written a 6 page letter to him telling him everything that I just could not voice to him. After he read it he was in tears and I was in the biggest bear hug of my life. He whispered in my ear, "I love you and am so proud of you." Rest in Peace former SGT USAAF (United States Army Air Force). I am also grateful that I had him in my life until he was 58 years old when he died 14 August 1984. He was just 5 when his father passed away.

    I'm so glad you were able to have that day with your Dad and say the things that needed to be said. Your Dad was far too young when he passed!
