Father's Day Memory

Missing My Dads this Father's Day by Barbara L. Steinberg

I know I am not the only daughter or child missing a Dad today. While I appreciate whoever (Hallmark) invented these holidays -- Mothers. Fathers, Grandparents -- those of us without are reminded of just that. And while I am glad to be reminded, I do miss my parents especially on these occasions.

So I was very glad to have stumbled upon the photo yesterday...the day before Father's Day 2010. I remember this day so well....my father-in-law (l) and my Dad (r) enjoying a reflective moment at Lotus Valley Nursery near Coloma, California. This was many years ago. And my Dads (sadly) are no longer with me. But their memories live on...through this photo...and this post.

Redding Bald Eagles Celebrate Fledgefest 2010

Redding California Eaglets Begin to Take Wing & Fly

Redding eagle-lovers and fans of the eaglet triplets are celebrating the impending flights of their very favorite California eaglets Peace, Shasta, and Justice. Proud bald eagle parents, Patriot and Liberty, oversee the progress of this feathery threesome. Though we wait and watch, breathless for them to fly...it's with sadness knowing that soon this incredible show will be over for another year.

 My list of best ice cream sandwiches is still tried and true....but Ginger Elizabeth's ice cream is absolutely over the top. Whatever you do, don't get between me and really good ice cream.Especially when it's made with real cream, real, chocolate, real mint...get the picture? Summer is here. And so are Ginger Elizabeth's exquisite ice cream treats.
