Today is Father's Day.  If you still have your dad  with you, let him know how much you care about him.  Tell him you LOVE HIM.  My dad passed away the day before I turned 40.  My Mom called us a few months before dad got really bad and told all us kids that if we wanted to see dad before he got worse this was the time.  I flew back home to TN and spent a week with my dad.  He remembered who I was.  My mom asked him if he knew who it was there to see him and he said, "Yes, it's my Jeanie with the lite blond hair"(sorry tears are flowing).  That's what he always called me.  I will always have that memory.

At my house this weekend, I fixed a big turkey dinner.  You ask why fix this big meal and heat up the kitchen here in hot AZ.  Well, I did it for a few reasons.  Today being Father's Day and tomorrow my dear husband, Darrell turns 60.  I also wanted to get this big thing out of the freezer and make some room.  I thought this was a good time to do that.

Here's a nice Father's Day poem.

FATHERS ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE 

author unknown

Fathers are wonderful people,

too little understood,

And we do not sing their praises

as often as we should,

For Father struggles daily

to live up to his image

As protector and provider

and hero of the scrimmage,

And perhaps that is the reason

we sometimesget the notion

That fathers are not subject

to the thing we call emotion.

But if you look inside Dad's heart,

where no one else can see,

You'll findhe's sentimental

and soft as he can be.

Fathers are just wonderful

in a million different ways,

And they merit loving compliments

and accolades of praise,

For the only reason Dad aspires

to fortune and success

Is to make the family proud of him

and bring them happiness,

And like our heavenly Father,

he's a guardian and a guide,

Someone we can count on

 to be always on our side.
