I know who the #1 Husband, Dad and Papa is!


I have the best husband! Today was Father's day! My husband is so wonderful! He cooks, cleans and encourages me continually!

Above is his latest new dish, a Greek chicken thing. It doesn't matter what it is called, just that he made it for me and it was delicious!

He puts up with all of my frustrations with M.S., he helps with everything I want done, he works joyfully as a pastor, he volunteers as a fire chaplain and police chaplain, he loves being a Papa and does all of this with little or no recognition. I just want you know Gene, I notice and appreciate all you do for me and for so many others. Thank you sweetie!

Here are some of the recent wonder moments from the past week!

He loves making lemonaid! (I love drinking it!)


He always stops and smells the roses!

He is always ready to hold your hand!

You're so amazing!

Still shredding!

I am still shredding those boxes. I do about 1 a week and this is my third box. I am up to 1997, or at least this is the box I am doing now. (not sure if they are in order) I have made countless trips to the bigger trash can with the shreddings. I find myself getting a little depressed. I feel as if I am destroying any evidence of my life. Every now and then I find something I can't part with, like a check from 1976 that was for our wedding cake. Check #232 to Sealy's Bakery for...is this possible?....$63.00. Wow. I am not sure how much my daughter's cake was (maybe I will find a receipt), but I know it wasn't that low. I'm smiling because the checks have surfers on them. It was how I lived my life in the 70's...at Newport Beach. *sigh*...the time before Jaws and skin cancer! Here is one...check #209 for my invitations.....$21.24. The food? Well....check #245 to Santino's for a meat tray was $185.00. I think my daughters sit down dinner was more around $3,500.00. Wow....

Above and below you see the newspaper clipping I ran across. Gene being sworn into the Police force in January of 1997. I think I will keep these! Still....I feel like I am wiping my life away. Then I remember...I have 2 wonderful grown kids and a grand daughter who carries on my labor. *Smile*
