🌟🌟🌟 Happy Dad's Day🌟🌟🌟

 Happy Dad's Day to all who qualify!!!

The above photo is me and my Dad...I was 3 months old, he was home for a few months, when I was born... as he was recuperating from some stomach surgery...

To the right, is the Summer of '51...

My Mom...older brother Bill, 5 in this photo... who was, and still is ,4 years older than me!!

I love the way my Dad is fussing over me 💕Unfortunately he passed away when I was 21...and he was a mere 67...my age right now...kinda scary,eh??

Okay...enough sadness....we celebrated Fathers Day Yesterday at the cottage...

All the kids came out...it was a fabulous day...hot...steamy...not too windy!

My boyfriend was so pleased with his gifts...and of course...

Miss V was a favorite visitor....for everyone!!!

The water was still too chilly...

But she NEEDED to put on her bathing suit, and her new water shoes that we had bought her!!!

She kept herself busy, collecting special sparkly rocks...

Isn't her dress cute!! Love that colour!!

And...the Jellie shoes!

Nothing like a strawberry cone to cool off when it is nice and hot!!

 And a big snuggle with her Papa💛💙💜💚





She made him a very special card....

So creative!!!!!

Hoe you all enjoyed your day with your Dads...and your loved ones...and remembered our Dads who are gone.

But....

Never forgotten......ever.....💖



I'll be back in a couple of days with a few more photos from our glorious 5 days at the cottage....

GORGEOUS weather...

Looks like Summer has finally arrived..............



          Enjoy your Sunday my friends....


                          Cheers!  :o)

Father's Day At The Cottage.......

Hope you all had a great weekend...

Celebrating Father's Day...

With your favorite Dad Papa, or boyfriend...♥️

The fun began...the minute...

Miss V arrived!

She REALLY loves the cottage...

All that open space to run around!!! 

Isn't this the most perfect shot??

With Uncle Ryan...aka "RyRy"

Daughter Erika and son Ryan...

Exploring the beach with Auntie Lissa...and colouring...

 I finally got a pic of Miss V in the thrifty hand knit sweater I got her....isn't it a lovely colour???   and it only cost me $1.50!!!   Can you believe that??? The wool cost more than that...and all their knitting time....I love it on her...has buttons down the front!!  {here she was fascinated with the heater!!}

  As you can see the weather was on the chilly side....but, we always manage to find a sunny spot, sheltered from the wind...

We had to eat dinner inside, as it was too WINDY on the sunporch...

My daughter Lissa brought gluten-free vegetable lasagna, I made gluten-free pasta salad...bean salad...and ceasar Salad...we had warm crusty bread and thoroughly enjoyed each others company!!

No pics of ME...my son in law Jeff and Ryans girlfriend Anna....perhaps Ryan got a few of the rest of us!!!

Dad, Papa and boyfriend was spoiled rotten...plenty of great gifts....shorts, shorts, books...you name it!!







One of the best...was this whirly-gig...turtle riding a bike!!!
Gotta love that $ store!!

What a busy weekend that was....

My boyfriend and I stayed at the cottage 'til this morning...

I got a bit more planting done...and a few more things organized...

We will be starting to have weekend guests soon, so I must get everything just right! 


                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope you all had wonderful Father's Day celebrations....

The weekend weather was iffy...kept looking like rain all the time...

Plenty of cloud cover....but also lots of sunny breaks!

                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I must give a big thank you to Amy over at "Love Made My Home"...
