Throw-Back Thursday - Father's Day

 A brief interruption to my vacation posts . . . 

a little Throwback Thursday of Miss Maddy

with Mr. Tennis on Father's Day in 2009!

Father's Day 2009

And another oldie but goodie from a 

Father/Daughter dance in 2010.

I just had to include it as her dimple is showing!

Ahhhh -- the good old days 

the "bob" haircut and hair bows!  

Happy Father's Day Mr. Tennis -

you are one in a million and

we love you so!

My Dad and Me - Favorite Photo Friday!

As usual, I am a wee bit late posting a photo of

 me and my Dad, Al,

in honor of Father's Day!

As you may have guessed, this photo is a

few [many]

years old!

Guess I am making this post about me instead of

Al -- who will turn 90 in August!

Seeing this photo really made me smile!

Al (he loves it when I call him Al, which is most of the time!). 

used to sneak me little juice glasses of beer when
I was young and sitting with him in the kitchen while my Mom made dinner!  :)

He worked so hard for our family --
we love him so!

Thank You and Father's Day Tradition

First, thank you to all who left comments, said prayers and kept my Mom and my family in your thoughts and prayers. I know there is power in prayer and we all appreciate it so much. What a sweet community of blogging friends -- it means so much to me!



Since I started my little "tradition" of having my picture taken with Maddy on Mother's Day, I suggested that Mr. Tennis do the same. He agreed, but kept telling me to hurry up already! Could be that we had just gotten home from a nearly 8-hour road trip and the temp is in the 90s and the humidity feels like it is nearly that!! Anyway, Maddy adores the Rickster (the boys do too, of course, but they aren't around for photos today, though I do have one with Cboo). So Happy Father's Day to my sweet Dad, Al, and also to the Rickster!
