father's day can you help
Comments (4)well we all made it through another special day. matthew stayed over on sat. night and on sunday he and i went to the cemetary. matthew's girlfriends mom made a beautiful artifical arrangement to go on top of the stone (rule of the cemerary real flowers after may 20), he and i planted 4 red geraniums (one for me, one for him, one for our dd, and one for gracie joy divine), 2 white allisiums plants, 4 kind of orange daisies and purple pansies. we also put up a blue and white sphere on a stand (kindof like a gazing ball, blue and white for the yankees baseball and the toronto maple leafs hockey team, Al was a sports nut!) i think he would have really liked it, also we put 4 different glass birds, bluejays and robins, one for each of us on the base, however i had to glue this down this morning and i brought gracie joy divine with me, she usually stays in her basket but today of all days she decided it would be fun for me to run around the grounds (thankfully Al is in the new part and there is alot of just grass, i would have felt terrible if the plots were there, but again i could feel Al laaughing at us). matthew spent alot of time crying again and was so quiet till we took him back home (none of our kids drive). Susan, we did have a scholarship in his name, and we also sponsored a hockey team and a baseball team (Al was really children orientated and was a certified coach, where no matter how you played you got equally time to play, it doesn't go well with alot of parents. and our son gives sporting equipment to the younger age sport players at cost or free. our daughter volunteers her time helping children to read better, and also helps at parks and recreation. i also volunteer my time at one of hockey associations that matthew played for when he was younger and he hasn't played there for 14 years! we also work bingos which help keep costs down for childrens sports. Al taught us all this, he has always been one to volunteer and never want or expect payment. i do hope you all had a wonderful day yesterday. tomorrow will be another day and we'll see what that will bring. it's so foggy here it looks like a snow storm! debbie...See MoreWhat Are You Doing This Father's Day?
Comments (7)I worked at the restaurant cooking for a buffet from 6:30 until 2:30. Now the day is for me to just relax and rest. Hubby will have broasted chicken wings that I had left over from the buffet for supper. I don't think I will eat. It is 92 degrees here in SD....See MoreWhat did you have for Father's Day meal??
Comments (14)We got together with some of my brothers and sisters and our families and spent about 2 hours at the zoo in Bismarck. We used to that quite a bit with our dad on Father's day. There were about 25 of us. Then we went to Texas Road House at 4:00. It was very crowded. My DH and I ordered a combo special. He ordered a steak and I had prime rib. We also got a huge onion blossom for an appetizer, each had a salad, I had broccoli and he had a baked potato. Then we also had a half rack of bbq ribs on the side. Well because we had to wait so long we had eaten peanuts and then the onion blossom and the rolls, we brought all of the meat home after we had each eaten one bite. We still had to drive 3 hours and we didn't want to be uncomfortable coming home. So we have 3 meals left. I could have ordered shrimp instead of the ribs but I thought the ribs would be easier to warm up. It was all very good....See MoreFather’s Day Gift Idea
Comments (2)I’d say yes. A gesture of solidarity. If you’re thinking in these terms, it appears family relation of extended family is good. You are lucky and any action towards preserving harmony is a good move....See Moreimamommy
