4 U, Happy Father's Day

4 u on Father's Day

I've had strong men in my life, in the 50's my Dad, who loved sports and always told me how proud of me he was.

That's him in the middle

In the 70's I married this sweet man

My life is filled with joy

Flowers

Peace

Beauty

Lots of precious moments

And great times

Here's to my sweet husband, brother and son's in law, thank you for being the special, strong men you are.

You are awesome dad's and role models.

Teddy Time

It's Teddy's Birthday, Teddy is seven and we are going to celebrate with Teddy Time. That's how my Saturday started when my grandson announced his arrival.

He said we should have a party outside, so we gathered up our supplies to have a tea party
First, the Tea Pot, Do I pick the old Ironstone

The Cute Hotel Silver

Or the Oriental set?

Next we got the honey that one of the coworkers gave me from his bees, a sweet spoon to dip and stir

I made some toast and jelly (Strawberry/Rhubbarb from another coworkers mom).

So Now the table is set and it is time to enjoy our celebration

Rowan ate all the toast and put a straw in his tea!

Oh, what a fun time we had this morning, join us in the yard as we sip our tea...

I hope your week is filled with sunshine!

Much love, Di
