Happy Fathers Day

 

My Dad!    Happy Fathers Day Dad!  I miss you!

Happy Fathers day to all the fathers in J-land.  I received all I could ever ask for last night.  My youngest son asked me what my favorite movie was.  I told him I had many but the one I enjoy watching the most is John Ford's "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance".  It takes me back to my childhood, when westerns were in their heyday.  Jimmy Stewert, John Wayne, Andy Devine, Lee Marvin, Vera Miles and others.  Mike had the DVD in his hand!  The boys (Nate, Michael and myself) all sat down and watched the movie.  What more could a father ask for; enjoying his favorite movie with his sons...and they enjoyed it too.  Afterward, Mike snuggled up next to me and said "Dad, I think that is my favorite movie too."

Mike and Nate, Fort Clatsop, Oregon, 2005

We are off to Oregon on Tuesday morning.  I'll capture pictures of the coast and check in on a regular basis.  Be safe.

Smiles, David

Happy Father's Day to you, David!! I enjoyed seeing the picture of your father. He looked like a fine gentleman who raised a great caring man who in turn is raising great caring young men. What a fine evening you had last night with the movie and your boys watching it together with you. I'm sure a good time was had by all.

Have a wonderful trip!! Looking forward to seeing pictures. I'll probably be offline when you come back; I'll be computer-less for about ten days from 6/22 until hopefully before 7/4.

That was truly very sweet. To share something you love with your kids like that. I remember when my dad shared some songs he loved. They were sung by Lorne Greene, of all people. One song was called "Pretty Horses"... my dad loved those old cowboy songs. And the old westerns... I came to love westerns and old cowboy songs as a result. Yeah, everytime I watch a western movie, I think of my dad. Glad you had a great Father's Day. Bea
