Sunday Musings of the Spirit: Happy Father's Day!

Though most people say I look like my mom, sometimes I can see the resemblance my dad and I share.


We've enjoyed sharing books and photographs.  (I wish I knew what we were looking at in this photo; I was clearly delighted!)

Dad's done a great job of letting me know he loves me, and I've always adored him, too!


"Father . . . is ever willing to sacrifice his own comfort for that of his children. Daily he toils to provide the necessities of life, never complaining, ever concerned for the well-being of his family. This love for children, this desire to see them well and happy, is a constant in a time of change."--Thomas S. Monson
Thanks to all the wonderful dads in the world!

    What a great picture of you and your dad enjoying 'some kind of card' together. The delight in your eyes!!
    Wish I had a dad like that. I grew up without my biological dad, only met him twice in my twenties. My stepfather and I never really connected and I never felt loved by him.
    My father-in-law was a whole different story though. He really LOVED me, I know this for sure, eventhough he never told me so. We miss him still every day, but today we think of all those good times we spend together.
    Hurray for all great Dads, in-law or other.

    What adorable pictures! He obviously loved you very much. Like Bianca, I grew up without knowing my biological Dad but my Father-in-law is like a real Dad to me...he is so special.

    I am glad you have such great memories together!

Six Sentence Story: Twist

  An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
