Father's Day

This day was always good for me, but since the loss of our son Chris, it's been hard to celebrate as before. We have two daughters Penny and Catherine that come for dinner with our grandchildren, and we'll have a nice time I'm sure. Chris would have not made it to the island for this, but a call would have happened. The day is just different. 

Today I'll go with my grandsons to the car show in Qualicum, I've never been before, and always wanted to, so today is the day. Be our third car show this year here, my forth, as I went to one in Yuma. I don't need or want to own an old car, or a fast car anymore, but I do really like to look, and talk about them. I had one, I raced all over town, it was fun, but no real desire to do anymore. 

I do really enjoy watching and listening to our grandsons talk about the cars though, how they see them, what they like about them, their dreams is what I get a glimpse of. Each one a little different, as they are, wanting a car that represents them. Good looking, fast, colour's all different, just what they want is good for me to hear. 

Of course there will be many people, some I'll know, so visiting as we browse is a part of the show. 

I washed Rambo yesterday, after we Don Lloyd and I worked on my big red truck, getting brakes all replaced, and oil changed, and all other things in shape.

Driving Rambo feels just a little better now, next be tires to finish off, and ready for this years travels. Sure nice to have a good friend help with this, I couldn't have done it by myself. 

Penny's birthday tomorrow, so will be part of today's celebration, always nice to get together with our family, burgers and smokies, and of course Polly has dessert 🎂 planned, a special Cake. Today she's also going to decorate cupcakes with the kids here, as Polly said to one of the girls that she would when we were moving in, and Jada asked the other day "when are we going to bake with you?" So today the cupcakes. 

Life goes on after Chris, a little different, yet it goes on. I think of Ciara, selling her house now, and Colton and Chase, all were affected by that one action. 

We all move on, just the way life is.

Happy Father's Day to y'all ❤️

Love our life ❤️
