Father's Day 2013

 Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's out there!!

Father's Day 2013. None of the children are here  this year to celebrate Father's Day but they did all phone!  I decided to make hubby a card and cook him a nice dinner.  I've made a rhubarb and strawberry pie  and he will be  getting chicken, mashed potatoes and some veggies to go with it! He is a meat and potatoes guy so this is what he wants, just something basic and tasty! Who said  you need kids to celebrate it with:O)! He loved the card and had a good laugh about it. It really isn't that bad in our house but the dog does lie at his feet and if you took the remote  and newspaper away and replaced then with a 'tablet' it starts to fit in a little better :O)

Father's Day 2012

I made this card for my son to give to his Dad for Father's Day. There is something about Gus that reminds of my lovable hubby, maybe just the knobby knees:O).  My hubby  has been hunting since he was twelve and he lives for hunting season. He thinks it is mostly about being outdoors that he loves. I'm not a hunter nor is our son, I have absolutely zero interest in it   but I do love to cook up a moose stew or roast a wild goose. We eat a lot of game! I had to make a stew out of beef last winter( we had run out of wild meat), it had been years since I had  to do that. Couldn't believe the cost:O).I know a lot of people do not approves of hunting but really nothing goes to waste in our group!
