Today is Father’s Day and I realized that I have been without my own father to celebrate with longer than was able to celebrate him, to tell him what he taught me, how I loved him, and that I did listen to the lessons he taught me. I never got to thank him for providing for his brood of eight, and for baking us bread, and growing us vegetables. He never got to meet my four boys, who would have love him, and he in return. I never got to laugh over the time I asked my mother if I could get my ears pierced (I was turning 9) and she said to ask my father. I am pretty sure that when my father said yes, my mother went nuts, and told me that if my father wanted my ears pierced he could bring him. And he did. And I am pretty sure that my father waited over 2 hours because he was not going to go home without my ears pierced. I still laugh about it to myself. So thanks Daddy for all the laughs, and for being stubborn and getting my ears pierced for me. Happy Father’s Day and keep up the good work watching over me!

All posts for the month June, 2012
So I’ve finally decided to extend myself to unknown territory. Put myself out there, and be judged, instead of doing the judging. This week it has been unseasonably cool in the North East. Here’s the beautiful part of that is the sky. The clouds are heavenly.
After taking a small sabbatical from blogging, I’m back with some words and photos I hope you’ll enjoy. My last post was from my favorite in the world, well my world at least. The Adirondack Park is full of everyday beauty, some of which I have never had the time, or maybe the inclination to stop and really admire. Last week on my mini vacation to Lake George I decided that on a trip to town instead of rushing to town, and rushing back to the landing I would make sure I stopped and actually took in some of the beauty. With that being said it was well worth the slowing down and enjoying what’s around me.
