1966 Chevrolet C-10

If I could get any vehicle this is probably what I'd get. Don't ask me why.... :)

Happy Birthday

We love you

Only a Dad

Only a dad with a tiered face,
Coming home from the daily race,
Bringing little gold or fame
To show how well he has played the game;
But glad in his hart that his own rejoice
To see him come and to hear his voice.


Only a dad with a brood of four (7:-
One of ten million men or more

Plodding along in the daily strife,

Bearing the whips and the scorns of life,
With never a whimper of pain or hate,
For the sake of those who at home await.


Only a dad, neither rich nor proud,
Merely one of the surging crowd,
Toiling, striving from day to day,
Facing whatever may come his way,
Silent whenever the harsh condemn,
And bearing it all for the love of them.


Only a dad but he gives his all,
To smooth the way for his children small
Doing with courage stern and grim
The deeds his dad did for him.
This is the line for him I pen:
Only a dad, but the best of men.
Edgar Guest


Happy Father's Day

Saturday Grant had a bunch of friends over for a paintball war. During the fight there was some heavy rain and wind. (which made it all the better I'm sure). After paintball they (Wendy H. and I too) piled on the couch to watch National Treasure 2, and eat cookies.

The tide of trouble will test, purify, and improve the good, but beat, crush, and wash away the wicked...the difference is not in what people suffer but in the way they suffer. The same shaking that makes fetid water stink makes perfume issue a more pleasant odor.
Saint Augustine, the City of God, book 1 chapter8

"I therefore, a prisoner of the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."
Ephesians 4:1-3
