Giving Thanks and Gratitude

July 28, 2009 - Time for Mom and Dad

I was talking with a new friend recently and she asked if I still had my parents around? I said yes. She commented "how lucky you are to still have them in your life". It made me stop and think, I am so lucky to still have them with me. My mom is 85 and my dad is 83. I think giving thanks and gratitude to God here and now would be very appropriate for me. Thank you God for two wonderful parents! This was one of the Father's Day pictures taken in June. Truly, you can see, I have been blessed.

Father's Day with Dad

June 21, 2009 - Father's Day with my Dad

It was nice to spend time with my dad on Father's Day. I brought my camera with me and took pictures of us together and also with the rest of my family too. My dad is in a nursing home due to diabetic complications, but he is learning to adjust after being there for some time now. This picture was taken by my sister for me. I'm glad to still have my father around with us.

My "camera-shy" Dad :)

Happy Father's Day

Sunday, June 15, 2008 - Another sneak preview on the birds nest.


Ok, I decided if the coast was clear, I would attempt to see if the mother bird was around or food hunting. As luck would have it, she was out hunting for food, and I could see a little bit of white fur at the top of the nest from fifteen away, no site of mom anywhere, so I very slowly approached the nest and snapped a few quick shots of the new arrivals! Didn't even know they were there since only a week ago they were still little blue eggs! So, I guess you can say Happy Father's Day! Today was a good day all around. The family spent some time with my dad at the nursing home, he received a lot of nice pajama shorts for his sleepwear, and he is doing well in the new nursing home. Hoping to see him come home after he gets back on his feet so to speak.
Hope you had a nice weekend too. And hope your dad is doing well on Father's Day.
