Dad's Lessons

To a dad who's taught us that when life becomes a tough row to hoe...
Riddled with near hits, but sure misses...

Fun can always be found in the most ordinary places...

Old things can be made just as good as new...

A little dirt on the fingers in February...

Brings a lot of joy in June...

And the best things in life really are free...

Happy Father's Day!

Well-written, as usual, and clearly from the heart. I know your dad is proud of you, and the pictures show the love your father has for you...an excellent Father's day tribute.

You're better than any Hallmark card! How wonderfully creative; how blessed your dad is to have your blessing in his life.

Julie said...

Kind words, Dexter and Anne! Thank you for those. :-)

That was a really nice tribute to your Dad! Sure have missed mine today. Hope your Dad had a great Father's day!

Julie said...

Suzanne, I thought of you today and a few others, as well. I know your dad was an amazing man. I see evidence of that in you. Hope today has given you something to smile about. (If not...seeing my "tan" tomorrow at work will!) Love you, friend!

Enjoyed seeing your pics. Hope Mr. Jimmy had a good day!

Julie said...

Thanks, Gina. Paul certainly had his joy doubled this Father's Day, didn't he?!? :-) Hope he had a wonderful one. Hope your dad did, too!
