It was such a nice day today. What a blessing to celebrate Father's Day with our kids and their kids. Victor was so happy that they all came to St. Anthony's for Mass today to be with him. We miss them when they are attending their parishes, as it should be.

Marla and Vic hosted such a nice pitch in and Vic did an Awesome job with the grilling. The Goodman kids all stopped in too as Al spent the morning and day with us as well.

We stayed while many of the guys watched the U.S. Open. On the way home Victor and I stopped by St. Anthony Cemetery so I could take a balloon for my dad. It was tough to say the least. If you have a dad living, be thankful and spend time with him. I'd give anything to see my dad again. I know that I will someday but in the meantime it's tough.

Later we went by Pam and Bobby's to see Victor's dad. He is slipping fast and doesn't look very good. He says he is in no pain and that is a blessing. I know he enjoyed our visit as he and Victor talked for quite a while.

Enjoy the pix that I have. Happy Father's Day to all!!!!!

The Loss of a dear friend.

On July 3 a dear, dear friend of ours, Chips Cronen returned to Heaven. He will be missed. We pray and ask for prayers for his wife Barbra and sons.
I came across this scripture that seems to be appropriate for Chips, it reads from Ephesians 6: 16-18
"At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the evil one. And accepting salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you. Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every occassion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for God's people."

This is just one thought that gives "light" to the life of Chips Cronen. He was truly a prayer warrior. I've counted on his prayers many times and will continue to do so..
