Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's and Granddad's out there. I started mine with coffee, then went down to read some blog's, about 08:30am it was already almost 80 degrees so I headed to the filling station for can of gas for my buddy John ( Deere). Then when I got back I got John out of the garage and we started on the 2 acres of grass, got sidetracked in the middle of the job when I noticed the center blade just wasn't cutting like I liked it so I went to the garage and jacked it up and pulled the blades off and took them over to the grinder and sharpened them, sharpening 3 blades was about 15 minutes a piece so by the time I was back on the tractor the temperature, was 90 degrees, needless to say when I finished about 12 noon I was hot and beat. Had two glasses of cold soda and two peanut butter sandwiches for lunch, funny how a little work in the hot sun can make you so hungry.
My Father's Day present is my Son and his girlfriend Samantha are going to dinner with Donna& I along with Adam my Grandson. Andy went to pick him up today and then spend Father's day with him.
Also one of my favorite bloggers Karen in the Woods. Rving-Small House-Big Backyard has a brother in law that is undergoing treatment for cancer, He and Karen's sister have no insurance and their son Christopher has built a stock car for a demolition derby called the Cancer Crasher, He is trying to raise funds for his Dad's medical bills, As some of you might know I lost my younger brother Rick to cancer on 12-31-2009, He also love stock car racing. I told Karen to send me her sisters address so I could make a donation in my brothers name. I normally don't ask for help but this is such a good cause, that if someone feels they would like to make a small donation I am sure Karen's sister sorely needs the help, you can get the address from Karen or E-mail me. Thank you so much for listening to my appeal.
Okay I am just going to lay around until it is time to get ready to go out for my Father's Day dinner. be safe out there. Sam & Donna.
Happy Father's Day to you too Sam! Sounds like you all have a nice evening planned....very special.

Happy Father's Day, Sam. Enjoy the dinner with your family!
ReplyDeleteHappy Father's Day Sam - sure hope you have a great dinner with your family! I have enough trouble with a 1 blade John Deere let alone having 3 blades to worry about!
ReplyDeleteAWww how nice is that! They are sure doing all they can to rise above and conquer this. He has stage 4 bone cancer and the surgery and rigorous radiation has taken a real toll on their finances. They are also RV people and love camping... anxious for him to feel better and get through this to go camping again.
