[Dragonkort]

First of all i want to wish all the fathers out there a VERY HAPPY FATHERS DAYS!!!   Although my father had an windering eye and a girlfriend in NY so didn't live with us for more then half my life....he was always sort of going back and forth between mom and his girl friend.....a strange marrage to be sure....and when he was home it was a bit loud lol it is this day when i miss my dad most now that he is gone....no he wasnt around a lot  and he wasn't the best father in the world..( i often woundered if he even thought of us when he was living with his girl friend) and most fathers days he was gone, but our mother taught us to respect him and the love well the love just happend perhaps dispite his wanderings ways...and we often teased him saying if we were in an airplain and one of us and his 6 pack fell out of the plan it would take him a minute to decided which one hes save lol and hed jokeling say well the beer of course!! lol he was also a kind and careing man in his own way....being a father of his genaration he of course spent more times with the boys....but i wiggled my way into watching them work on cars and convinced him at least once when they were out shooting the bb gus and 22s to let me shoot too.. before hed say wheres your mother? lol or go help your mother. lol  it came back to bite him in his later years...the world had changed a lot by the time my little sister was born....and he relunty changed to some extent with them at least when it came to her...lol she sort of insisted on being treated no differentlly then the boys...lol so she got to learn how to dosome of the things he never thought to teach me...after i moved down here after my divorce he was in charge of keeping my cars running lol  he check my oil once and it was almost dry poor man almost hit the roof!!! lol how could i let my oil get so low!!  he KNEW he had taught me how to do that. lol nope wrong daughter lol  my sister is 10 years younger then me.....and of course mom backed me up when i told him that when ever i tried to watch him  and the boys working on the cars he would say wheres your mother or go help your mother lol so finally he taught me how to check the oil and where to put it in to the car....how ever at least once a month he would do a check of my car....and yes put oil in it lol not that i let it get low he would top it off lol my sister would get so mad sometimes lol but we lived in different times so our relationhip was a bit different she really never got to know him until she was in her 20s.....funny the things we remember....i have of course his pictures up along side my mothers on the wall...and as i kiss his picture and remember his pat on the head and thats nice babe..he would always say to me no matter what i was doing or saying lol i say happy fathers day to him too....he wasnt perfect and he wasnt the best father in the world but hes mine...and i love him.......now the plans for today  IF nothing happens to change my plans i plan to spend some time in the woodshop getting things done or at least started.  lol and i might sometimes today go out to the little pile of logs an sort through them to find the 2 or 3 that have been sitting there for a few years and should now be consided dry.... i told you id read through my book and watch my vido before i did anything lol  id almost forgotten your suppose to let the wood dry first lol although i wounder what would happen if i didnt lol  well its almost time for the pastors on line service so im off to get ready to attend the on line church service...again i hope everyone has a great and wounderful fathers day...have a coffee on me lol well its morning and unlike dad i dont start drinking as soon as im done with my coffee!! lol yes i struggled with alcholisum myself at one time but now i limit myself to just 2 wine glasses of wisky and soda before i go to bed at night....i started doing that when the pain got so bad...and well now i just countue it,  and as long as i dont let it get out of hand spike is fine with it....although i know he watches the level on that wiskey bottle lol God bless his soul...

yes spike is defently a blessing to me from God. we've been together for 15 years and he has been trying to get me some relief from the migrines and headaces since he got here.... finally in sept we found a treatment that workig and i pray will countue to work until the day i die. lol its been rough for him and i thank him constently for all he does for me... poor man even had to learn to cook a few simple t hings and make tv dinners lol and he helps me when i  cook from scratch he come a long way since he first got here.  once in the beginning id been in pain for days and nausha to to he decided hed make supper... which was nice...but he tended to shop at gordens...a place that usuly sells to restrants . well anyway he bought some cheese to make mac and cheese....all he had to do was open it heat it and  put it on the noodles... sounds good and easy except for one teny tiny little thing.... the bag of  cheese was a restrant sized bag lol OH MY !!! lol he came intothe bedroom  and told me what he had tried to do but something didnt look right.  lol it was more like a thick cheese soup with some noodles in it. lol well being a restrant cook i said ok i can fix it.... so i got a big pot out and boiled some water and made a ton of noodles lol  then i mixed it all together and it was fine....i did of course give some to my mom my brother my sister  and my friend lol and we still ate mac and cheese for like 3 - 4 days lol  he does a LOT better now. and he has never given up on me even when i had to spend most of this past year in bed because of the migrains and headaces... we even had to live in a dark house...the curtios were always closed and we used like 30 watt light bulbs. we use the 60s in most things now except for the orange 30 watt i have in the craft lamp by my chair....and i still wear dark sunglasses when i go out....and follow my migrine diet..not taking any chances of triggering them.
