Father's Day

Who's this cute little boy ? He's my Dad, in the mid 1940's.  I asked him what all of the wood was all around him, and he said it was when his parents (Grandpa and Grandma Dickson) were turning the attic into bedrooms in the upstairs at the house. 

Here he is at about 2 years old (I think).  He is such a cute little blonde thing.

Dad always had a dog around the house as a kid. 

Here he is in 7th grade.  I think Devin (Mark's son) looks alot like him. 

He was/is a good Dad.  He always wanted us to be happy.  Here we are (Erika and I) with him in the snow in about 1965-66.  We lived in a little pink house where Tom Birt lives now, across from the Middle School. 

Here he is in high school.  No wonder my mom fell in love :)

I love my Dad very much. He takes such good care of all of us, and works so hard (and always has) to provide for us. His thoughts and actions are always for his family. He has concern for each one of us. He works so hard in his garden, so that we can enjoy the wonderful results. He worries about us, and wants us to be happy and safe. He and mom have worked so hard on The Property, a wonderful wonderful legacy for our family to enjoy.

We love you Dad !!  Thank you doesn't seem enough to say.  We will continue to show our love to you, by helping out where we can, and lightening your load, and showing love for one another - after all, that's what it's all about, right?


And now for Ben - Roger's Dad.

Such  a cute little mischevious smile :)

Come to think of it - he looks pretty mischevious HERE too :)

And here he is during the 1940's when he was in the war.   A good-looking cuss.....those bushy eyebrows he passed along to someone I know ! 

Ben is............a tease :)  That would be my first memory of him, when he sold me a pair of wranglers at Valley Implement in the mid 1970's.  He gave me a bad time then, BEFORE either one of us knew I would one day marry his son !  

Ben is supportive, and concerned for his family.  He is interested in our lives, and what we are up to. He always asks about our boys, and that "girl" (Amanda) down there.........(in AZ:).  

Love you Ben !!  Keep on smiling !

And can't forget these OTHER DAD's
