"When I was a boy of fourteen my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But, when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years."
Mark Twain
This Father's Day I would like to take a moment to thank Secret Agent Man....the driver of the go-cart and the cruise director of this ship....when I am not trying to direct it myself.
The wood cutting, girl's softball coaching, gentleman farming guy who is the dad to our two kids and my husband for twenty-three years. Thanks for all that you do, for all of us.
And, a special thanks to Mr. B for being my dad and a grandpa to my kids. I also appreciate his sense of humor such as this photo of him wearing this wig from the granddaughter's dress up box.
I hope you take a moment today to recognize the dads in your life.
Happy fathers day :-)
