    "A father is someone that holds your hand at the fair,
    makes sure you do what your Mother says, holds back
    your hair when you are sick, brushes that hair when it
    is tangled, because Mother is to busy, lets you eat ice
    cream for breakfast, but, only when Mothers is away, he
    walks you down the aisle, and tells you every things gonna
    be o.k."

  4. A lovely post Maria, my Dad passed away 2 years ago, I have been thinking of him today too. The children couldn't be home today but they sent my husband a lovely card telling him how much he meant to them. It can be so easy to take things for granted.

  5. Dear Maria,

    Beautiful and thoughtful post. I am so, so Lucky my 90 year-old father is alive and kicking. Infact I am off to England to spend a few precious days with my parents and brother on Friday! I cannot wait to step away from the business of life and savour their presence.

    Love,

    Stephanie

  9. So lovely Maria! And isn't it incredible how "antique" the 1950s and '60s are starting to look in those black and white photos...

  11. Oh what a precious post, a most darling quote about the wallet. How true, for they work so hard to keep us going, to feed us, to shelter us. Maria dear, you are a gem. Thank you for visiting me and for "sitting" with me to have a virtual cup of tea. Love to you my dear and sweet friend across the pond, Anita

    1. Hello, lovely YOU....It comes into Bumble Bee, on the East of India Range of products....I have wrote on plaques for folks in the shop, Anita...It reminds me of my dear Dad, he always carried us in his wallet...Very often with little else in it....He worked so hard for us and was taken at just a little older than me, now...Too young! I wish you a week full of twinkles, my friend! ****

  13. Oh sweet one, thank you for sharing where you got the quote; it is so precious and I will cherish it!

    When you think about the brief lives some fathers spent on earth, it is disheartening, but yesterday as I was pondering on my father's 82 years of life, I am grateful that he left something inside of me...his creative spirit goes on in me.

    Have a wonderful day, Anita
