THE FAMILY
"The family is like a book:
The children are the leaves,
The parents are the cover,
Which protective beauty gives.
At first the pages of the book
Are bland and smooth and fair;
But time soon writeth memories
And painteth pictures there.
Love is the little golden clasp
That bindeth up the trust.
Oh, break it not, lest all the leaves
Should scatter and be lost."

The above photo is my Dad and my Gram (his Mama) was recently sent to me by my step-Mom. My Gram passed away over 22 years ago and my Dad passed away in 1999. And, I still miss both of them...
Happy Father's Day to all the Dads... you helped create a family book.
I cooked my dad some banana bread and then I went home and made him grilled cheese sandwhiches for lunch.
I am his favourite daughter.
Totally fed up with being horizontal after my operation the "Gang" and I with me hobbling along on crutches behind decided to take an afternoon to go around the fabulous Old Bladbean Stud. Part of the "ngs" national garden scheme, a charity where private and economic gardens open on special days to raise money for the following charity's:
Macmillan Cancer Support - Marie Curie Cancer Care - Help the Hospice - Carers Trust - Queen's Nursing Institute - NT Gardening Careerships - Parkinson's UK - Perennial and the Garden Museum. Old Bladbean Stud nr Stelling Minnis comprises five interlinking gardens created from scratch by the current owner who we met and discussed the thinking behind the design. There is a walled garden full of old fashioned roses, a white and a yellow garden, long lawn and Victorian borders stuffed full of roses, lupins, delphiniums, alliums, fox-gloves, grasses and organic vegetables and fruit. The whole site is self sufficient using solar panels, wind turbines, heat exchangers and rain water collectors and the site is organic allowing the plants and insects to form a microclimate and to self seed. Fabulous, fabulous garden and open throughout the year to allow viewing of the garden throughout the seasons. Add a fabulous tea with "happy birthday size" pieces of home made cake and a brilliant afternoon was had by all!

Sorry no close ups or macros as I was unable to bend?
Heading for the Navy in just a few days. A send off from the family and a perfect Fathers Day at the lake. They grow up way too fast. I couldn't be more proud of him.
Here is the bulletin cover we came up wtih for Father's Day. We are relatively set on it (ie: don't have a lot of time left), but definitely open to feedback. Wanted something fun, but still hitting our target of 40-ish (and up).
