Happy Father's Day! :)
Hi angel friends :) my family and i want to take this time, to wish all dad's, a happy father's day, and we thank you all so very much, for your sweet happy father's day wishes :) It's very wonderful of you all :) We're thinking of you and your family's, and we're with eachother in spirit, during these times :) You all are very special friends, and always warm our hearts, brighten our days, and touch our hearts in many ways :) We're having a nice peaceful, and relaxing day here at home :) there's lots of beautiful sunshine, nature, and we're ready to welcome the summer season :) There's lots of great things going on, and many special memories being made :)
We've been having family over to visit today from time to time :) This early morning, my brother Bobby stopped by for a visit :) he brought my dad, some nice cherrystone clams, and he also brought some nice foods for us, including some nice ingredients for my mom to make a nice stir fry :) yum! :) it's so nice of my brother Bobby :) he was up early this morning, he went fishing last night with his friend, in Rhode Island :) he and his friend caught some nice fish, and he mentioned he saw some blueshell crabs :) awesome! :) my brother wants my dad and i to join him for a clamming/crabbing adventure this upcoming season :) that would be awesome! :) we have lots of favorite crabbing spots, and we love getting some nice clams also. :) my brother mentioned about how he, Stacy, Ryan, and Miranda went to Rhode Island yesterday, watch hill, and saw lots of cool sights, and visited down by the water :) They had a great time :) my brother Bobby has always loved visiting down by the water, fishing, clamming, and crabbing :) when i was a kid, he use too take us all fishing, and also crabbing too :) It's always been one of his favorite joys :) my brother Bobby has 4 children, and is very happy, enjoying the father's day holiday weekend :)
Later on during the morning, i gave my dad a nice happy father's day card, and some of his favorite candy treats :) he loves candies :) he has a candy bowl container he loves to bring with him, during his delivery driving for Domino's Pizza :) he's also been doing great with his uber driving :) my dad's having a nice Father's day :) he's been listening in to the Red Sox baseball games on the radio, he's a big Red Sox fan :) my dad loves baseball :) he use too play baseball in high school, he was a pitcher, and was scouted by the new York Yankees i n the 1960's :) That's a golden era for baseball. :) my dad's very proud of his baseball playing days, and loves to share stores about the times he played baseball when he grew up in Maine :) We always hope to someday make it back there for a nice visit, as we have family who live in Maine, on my dad's side :) i remember in 1994, when i was about 13 years old, we traveled to Maine, and visited family, and my dad hadn't seen his dad in years, and we looked up information, about him, and we found out where he was living in Maine, and i remember we went to visit him, and i shook his hand :) he looked a lot like my dad too :) it was awesome! :)
my sister Jenn ,Mikey, and Hunter came over to visit during late morning :) Mikey and Taylynn played their game, and Hunter was looking at the stickers on my mom's cabinet in our living room :) he's so happy, smiling and smiling :) awww! :) We were all hanging out, enjoying visiting :)
With it being father's day, i love taking some time to write about my dad, stories, and awesome memories :) my dad and i have a great passion for collecting sports cards :) friday evening's and saturday's, were our special sports cards times, when we use too travel every friday evening to the Gales Ferry, CT shops, and there was a shop called the Bill's baseball cards :) i remember we'd buy lots of packs of cards to open up, it was always so much fun :) the ocean state job lot store had opened in the early 1990's too, and i remember we'd go there, and find cards :) Saturday was a big shopping day back in the day for us, when i was younger :) i remember we'd go to the New London, CT mall, we'd play the crane games to win stuffed animals/treasures, and we'd go to toys r us, and we'd also go looking for yard sales in Waterford, CT :) i remember we'd find some cool games, and sports cards too :) We still enjoy collecting sports cards, and we buy some, every now and then :) that excitement of opening up packs of cards, is always something our hearts treasure, with lots of excitement :)
It's a beautifully sunny day, and summer season officially arrives tomorrow :) i'm so happy, and thrilled, about the awesome growing progress of our plants, and gardens :) Today i gave our plants a really nice watering, keeping them replenished with the water nourishment, as it gets ready to reach nearly 90 degrees tomorrow. wow! The plants are gonna need lots of water, this upcoming week :) i look forward to tending them, and they'll be super mega growing into the summer season :) it's gonna be so nice, and a special joy : ) i've been enjoying showing everyone our plants, garden, the great growing progress of the plants, and all of the nature joys :) i'm so happy, and thrilled everyone's been enjoying our plants, gardens, pictures, and nature videos :) it warms our hearts, and brings us smiles :)
Our plants, and gardens are really flourishing :) my brother Bobby this morning, was so excited and fascinated to hear about our popcorn plants :) he and i were talking about our garden :) i'd like to give some popcorn to him and his family, when it's harvest time : )It's gonna be great :) nature, and gardening has always been a big part of our family's :) i remember when i was younger than 10 years old, and helping my dad plant a garden in our backyard where our sheds are these days, but i remember when we planted carrots, tomatoes, and other goodies too :) our gardens have grown more and more over the years :) in 2002, i remember my dad, brother Bobby, and i grew this huge tall mammoth sunflower, that grew to about 12 feet tall! :) We harvested the seeds, and i remember having 2 jars of seeds, from that one sunflower :) what amazed me so much, is how tall the sunflower grew, and how strong it grew too :) that season, really began my love, for growing sunflowers :) every year since, we've grown more and more sunflowers :) from 1 foot tall sunflowers, to 12 feet tall ones, every sunflower, has an incredible journey :) it's really amazing, and such a heart-felt joy, to enjoy nature, gardening, and the beauty of it all, as it brings many wonderful memories that blossom into our hearts :)
We're enjoying a great sunday! :) my family and i are doing well, and are in great spirits :) it's been a really sweet, relaxing day :) my dad did do some uber driving today. Holly visited with her parents today :) She's been doing a bit better, and stocked up on lots of nice foods and drinks :) She and i enjoyed our movie night last night :) We watched, "Rush Hour" movie :) it was a cool action/comedy movie :) we're gonna watch some treasure themed videos on youtube tonight :) Tomorrow is the 1st day of the summer season :) the strawberry red moon is expected to be visible in the sky tomorrow :) It's gonna be really neat if it's visible in our area, i'd love to see it :) It's gonna be a great upcoming week :) i'm doing some writing, cards, letter, plus putting together some treasures packages to mail :) we also look forward to our nice weekly traditions, with nature walks, gardening, sweet treats tuesday, super wednesday post office adventure, ghost hunters party, and lots more, leading us into a nice fun baking friday adventure :) Life is very special, and each day, truly is a gift, and blessing : )Thank you all so very much, our dear angel friends, for all that you do for us :) You all are wonderfully nice and sweet :) We deeply appreciate everything, with all of the love of our hearts :) BIG GROUP HAPPY FRIENDSHIP HUG :) There's many more great times to look forward too, with family, friends, and nature :)

Hi sweet Chris I really enjoyed reading your whole journal. It was very nice to read about your brother Bobby and his family and his love for fishing and getting clams and crabs and that he\'d like to take u and your dad to do that with him and how he brought nice food over for your mom and dad to cook. Sounds great. It\'s neat he has for kids. It was also nice to hear about your dad and how he was a pitcher and he was scouted by the Yankees. He sounds like a really good baseball player. It\'s neat he likes the Red Socks. It\'s a really nice team. It\'s also nice to read how u and your family have always had a love for gardening and planting and collecting and getting sports cards. It\'s really nice how your brother Bobby and sister jenn, hunter and Miley all visited u today for Father\'s Day. Sounds great. I\'m glad your dad likes his job as an uber driver and that he enjoyed the candy and card u gave him. Love u lots. I hope u have a nice day today. Thank u for sharing and I\'m glad holly is doing better and you\'ve been watching shows with her. I hope she continues to feel better. Hugs and love my nice friend.
