Happy Father’s Day

I want to thank my Dad and my sweet Husband for being the fine guys they are..One had to deal with me for 23 years until he tossed me over to the new guy in 1977!

My dad Hollis is now 80 years old and I feel very blessed that Dad is still with us and going pretty strong, albeit some aches and pains.  Love you Daddy!

Dad and Mom were married December 24, 1950..Just look at those two!

and here they are on December 24, 2009, 59 years later!  Hey cuties!

Now for the other guy in my life, my hubby Carl..this fella just recently told someone that I was his BEST friend.  That just brought me to tears, we have been through a lot in the last 33 years, we have changed so much, but thankfully we have changed together and not apart!

 

April 2, 1977..check out the duds, oh my!  Honest, we were in style then!!!

He is a wonderful husband, was such a hard worker to provide always for me and our two sons Dan and Scott.  He was and is a hands on kind of dad, always willing to pick up a baseball even when he was dog tired, coached the boys soccer, and recently assisted both his sons in building awesome shelving in their garages, and I can honestly say never missed a back to school night all those years.  And he still keeps me laughing as some of these pictures will show..oh my!
