June 16th - FATHER'S DAY

"In Canada, Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June and is not a public holiday. Father's Day typically involves spending time with one's father or the father figures in one's life. Small celebrations and the giving of gifts may be part of the festivities organized for Father's Day."


Here are some great quotes you can use on scrap layouts or even cards:

He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it. ~Clarence Budington Kelland

It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us fathers and sons. ~Johann Schiller

Old as she was, she still missed her daddy sometimes. ~Gloria Naylor

I don't care how poor a man is; if he has family, he's rich. ~M*A*S*H, Colonel Potter

Any man can be a Father but it takes someone special to be a dad. -- Anne Geddes

A wise son maketh a glad father. -- Proverbs 10:1

Sometimes the poorest man leaves his children the richest inheritance. -- Ruth E. Renkel

What did you do today for Father's Day?

We just celebrated at my parents' house.  The kids swam even though the water was a chilly 75 degrees.  Brrr!

I like the quotes Carla, our pastor used some of them in his sermon today.  One he used that I thought was cute was "when his daughter puts her arm over his shoulder and says, 'Daddy, I need to ask you something,' he is a pat of butter in a hot frying pan." by Garrison Keillor

Great quotes Carla. And love that one your pastor told you Stephanie. We didn't do to much.. Bar b q and relaxed.

I let dh do whatever he wanted to do! It was pouring rain so he worked in the garage on the trusses for his new shed. He also had a nap and called our boys (he said a quick HFD and I got them for an extended chat! ) and his dad. That was about it!

Love the quotes!

We had supper at our house with our 3 DDs and 2 of the SILs-#3 was working and all 6 of the grandkids! A full house with much noise but at least Dh was happy! We did get to church in the am too where all the DADs got a blessing!

I took DH out to supper and he had telephone calls from DS and DD.

We had the Walk for Muscular Dystrophy so we were there for the day.  However I bought Chinese food for super from Jason's favorite place.
