Happy Father's Day, 2017...

 I'm reposting last year's 

Father's Day post.

With a little extra thrown in.

We added another father this year.

*****************

There are lots of fathers, in my life.

Some gone, and some still with us.

The first father I knew was my Daddy.

He was a good man. A hard working man....

He loved to learn new things...have a good time.
And, fish.

And, there's my father-in-law.

Another good man. Another hard working man.

Fun, and funny...always ready for a good time.
And, fish.

Both are gone now. And, we all miss them.

And, this guy.

The one I see every day.

Another good man. Another hard working man.

He's also fun, and funny.

And, ALWAYS ready for a good time.

Another good man...hard working and always there for his family...

our Son.

And, our Son-in-Law...

another good, hardworking man...

there for his family.

*****************
This year, we added one more father.

Ronnie is our newest father...
Father to our sweet Great Grandson.
Another good, hardworking guy.

*****************

I'm blessed, to have all these good men in my life...

past and present.

Seems we have an ongoing theme in this family...
good, hardworking men.

Good men....good fathers...build good families.

We're all lucky to have them, in our lives.

The generations march on.

So,

to all the fathers out there...

all the Dads.

We love you all.

Happy Father's Day...

Happy Father's Day....

I've posted before about the fathers in my life, here.

My feelings for these men haven't changed.

They're all very special people.

But, this is the guy I see the most.

A great father and grandfather...a great partner in life.

I wish all the fathers out there a very

Happy Father's Day...

The Fathers in My Life....

Over the years...if you're lucky...you can collect a lot of Fathers.

This is the one I started out with.

By the time I showed up, he had been a father to my brother and sister for quite a while.

There were both quite a bit older.

He was a hard-working, honest man.  

He was always interested in learning new things.  

He passed that love of learning on to his children.

This December, he will be gone for 30 years.

And, I still miss him.

***********

But, I still have Fathers.

This is the Father I live with.

He's been in my life, for half a century. (Yikes!)

He's a fun guy.  Sometimes my 'Third Kid'.

But, he's always been a good Father...a Dad.

Always there for whatever his children needed.

And, now....he's a good Grandfather.

Pop...the Grands know he can easily be wrapped around a finger.

***********

The next generations of Fathers.

The guy on the far left, is our son.

He's a great Father, too.

Always showing up for all the kids activities.  

They know they can count on him, whatever the situation.

And, our Son-in-Law.

Another hard-working man, who would do anything for his kids.

They know that Daddy is there for them, for always.

***********

All these men...these Fathers...play a big role in my life.

I love each and every one.....today, and every day.

Happy Father's Day,

to Fathers Everywhere.
