Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

.
With Father's Day fast approaching, it's time to make this most important announcement:

Diva Dad - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Loser-Dork Dad

At the beginning of the month, I ran a contest between Diva Dad and Loser-Dork Dad.

After 238 votes and 69 comments, it's now official. Diva Dad won 208 - 30.

And just what title did Diva Dad win????

He is crowned The Most Unconscious Father of the Year.

As many of my readers pointed out, it's very fortunate that he won considering he already has the crown!!!

groovyoldlady said...: That's SO EXCITING!!

Even more exciting is the evil idea it gives me...

Mulletman is a champion napper - and he'll be REALLY tired on Father's day seeing as we'll have just finished riding 180 miles on bicycles.

Must have camera ready...

Jessica Morris said...: I keep meaning to ask you, I think you mentioned you had done several progressive dinners, right? (if it wasn't you, please excuse me! two little ones sometimes make me mix things up!)
Anyways, if it was you, I was wondering if you have any unique ideas for them? I have done a couple of them for the young people in the past, and am planning one for them in August. I wanted to do something a bit different, but am not sure what.
I was thinking of making each homes food be themed around a different country, but I am still looking for ideas :)
Thanks!; June 16, 2009 at 8:39 PM

We all have multiple pictures of them with one or the other of us women smiling broadly behind or next to them. I don't know why we think this is so funny, but we do.; June 16, 2009 at 10:17 PM

Thanks, Keeth, I am loving having the grandchildren. They are staying a whole month....the longest they've ever stayed and I'm just thrilled! Tired but thrilled! Maybe they'll get me swimming and I'll lose a few lbs.; June 17, 2009 at 9:31 AM
