We are slowly coming back to normal. The family is beginning to relax into post graduation life. Gabe is getting into Summer mode, My mom went back to Boston after a nice visit here.. and Max is up for another day and a half.
I find myself wishing for the summer off like all my friends.. I’m watching everyone else settle in to a slower pace of life.. When do I get to be a kid again ?

Uh-oh.. looks like my post last night did not go out… and was eaten by my computer. I’ll attempt to recreate it here…
Happy Fathers day folks.
Today was our first Fathers Day without our Dad’s.. Dianes Dad, Gabe, and my Dad Hugh both passed away in the past 6 months. We were thinking of them today…
I can stil here my Dad’s voice all the time.. I miss him deeply these days.. I talk to his picture all the time. He was my measure of what a Dad should be.. I think he taught me well.
Diane’s Dad Gabe was a gentle and kind soul. .. I loved him very much.. .. and he sure loved his grandkids.. 
My own dance with Fathers day and other ‘Hallmark holidays’.. is complicated.. They can be sad since Sam died.. but usually its more the thought that’s sad.. the actual day goes just fine.. just like most days.
Today I enjoyed hanging out with my sons … and missing one. . Max is up.. which is a nice gift ! We did a little ‘making’ which always makes me happy
My Mom is also up.. which is nice.. She took us all to ‘Single Pebble’ for a fathers day feast. I wore my Dad’s clothes.. .. hist boots, pants, belt, shirt.. I may even have been wearing his boxers.. but.. i’m not so sure on that.. He left big shoes to fill !
It was a good day.. Hope all you Dad’s out there had a good day as well..
Happy fathers day everyone…
