SPECIAL SUNDAY EDITION!!!

I have decided that this will be my annual Father's Day post. My Father's love lives on in me day after day even though he has passed from this life to the next. I can be content if my life is even a small reflection of what he taught me.

I lost my beloved Daddy on November 23rd of 2009, for me it still feels very much like yesterday. I had published this blog post years ago, quite some time before he past away, to celebrate the amazing person he was and him overcoming a major medical stumbling block,  I think Father's Day is the perfect day to republish it.  I miss you ♥ Daddy!!!! 


- HERE'S TO YOU DADDY -
- MY HERO - MY BEST FRIEND - MY ENCOURAGER - I LOVE YOU -

he deeply loved his family (that's me on the bottom girl on the right 1 of 7 kids)
he was an amazing artist and loved his gift to create fabulous works of art

he loved his daily newspaper and didn't go a day without the comics!
And when i was a little girl i could curl up in his lap and he'd read them to me!

as a architectural illustrator he loved the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright


he loved fine dining and his favorite was fresh lobster. We share SO MANY amazing
meals together, he definitely influenced my love and passion for cooking.
his love for fine dining included fine wine - his favorite was pouilly fuissi!


he loved classic styling and the straight 12 jaguar was his all time favorite!!!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DADDY...ALWAYS IN MY HEART!!!
