Another Father's Day ...


Seventeen years ago, and it went by so fast.
Today there were 12 of us, for a delicious brunch  ...


and fun catching up and being together. 
Hoping you had a great day with your family and friends.

Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads, 


and many great men who aren't, but are like-Dads.
There should be a Dad's Hall of Fame. I have mine.

Did you know?  Hummingbirds can see colors undetectable to the human eye. A new study finds when hummingbirds make decisions regarding food, evading predators, or choosing a mate, they're influenced by the diverse colors they can see that we can’t. They’re called "nonspectral colors." Bonus fun fact: Humans can see one nonspectral color, purple. Want more? here.

Yesterday's blog mentioned that WW had treated me to a pedicure.
 I got some feedback! 


For the record, my nail polish is always as close as I can get to 
skin color, soft natural pink? I do my own manicure.
Both nails and toes the same.


Good friend Carole, said "Pedicure?? What color?  Bright pink or red. Better yet; that turquoise or green color that I see everywhere.  What color, Jacki?  Ha.Ha."
My friend Ann, said she could "understand that for fingernails, but the feet should be bright, with flowers and glitter!"


I said "Egads, no!"
Aunt Vonda always kept her nails perfectly filed and neat. 
No polish. Later when she had to be in a very nice care 
facility, the well meaning girls painted her nails red. 
She didn't seem to mind or maybe notice, 
but I knew they really didn't know Aunt Vonda. 
Erin will tease me sometimes saying 
that someday she'll paint my nails red. 
If so, I hope I'll be like Aunt Vonda and not mind.













If you are lucky enough to have your Dad, 
I wish you and him "Happy Father's Day."
I hope you will both celebrate. 
Fathers are very important, and too often under-rated? 
They are kinda like a pet ... we willingly accept 
any bad traits along with the good, as pets do for us.




Happy Fathers Day, Dad, up there!
