Father's Day 2010 - Dixon

We had planned to go to Dixon on Friday, but due to Camille's schedule, we went to Dixon on Saturday afternoon. In the early afternoon, we had a new home to see that David Thompson has just purchased. Then off to a graudation open house. It was indeed a busy day. Then we headed for Dixon, had supper and then went on A nice bike ride. Here's a great statue of Lincoln when he was young. I had never seen this one before.
It was a good thing that we didn't to to Dixon on Friday. There was a terrible storm that came through and knocked not only trees down, but power lines. Above was a tree that was knocked down in the park we were riding our bikes.


As always, one must check the air in their tires. Camille's tires needed a little more air.


Sunday morning Camille and the grandkids had gifts for the dads. Above we have Andrew and his dad, Dave.

And of course nothing like a father and her daughter.

We attended church. Ate out. And then headed home. It always go too fast.

Father's Day always has very mixed emotions for me. Since Gary and I now have a blended family things will never be the same. I always think of Ann-Marie's dad...that is he is not here. Now I think of Brett as now being a dad. There are many "WHYS" in my life. Both Ann-Marie and I will always miss her dad . We accept God's path. It would not have been one that we would have chosen but we always know that His way is best.

But we both wish Gary, Dave and Brett a very Happy Father's Day!!
