Father's Day, 2009

What a wonderful day we had with Blain and his family. the boys were great and seemed to have a good time. Of course there is a very limited number of things for them to do here since we have gotten rid of the toys that they had out grown. they are now into video games and computers.

It gives one a great sense of pride when an 8 year old can approach and describe some game and/or toy that he just discovered on the internet. He is ready with the cost and where it can be purchased and is ready to go. Of course, it is impractical to get them everything they desire. Even Obama couldn't provide enough bail out money for that. Besides, they already have at least one of everything.

They sure are a joy to be around and make both Barbara and I very happy. We are so proud of Blain and Lori for the time they spend with them. While Blain was growing up, I was usually travelling or busy trying to make a living. He did turn out great though as did Beverly.

Beverly was absent on Father's Day this year due to a prior committment invlolving a vacation to the Grand Turk Islands. We are so happy she is able to travel and enjoy life to the fullest. She E-Mails daily to keep us up on her activities.

It is truly great being a "Father", especially when there are such fine children and grandchildren to be proud of.
