Hey all! I’m back! Didja miss me? ;)
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! to all the dads out there and to all the dads who aren’t bio dads but are daddys anyway and to all the single (or may-as-well-be-single-for-a-while moms, like military wives or those whose husbands are on the road) moms who pull double duty.
One of my favorite stories of adoptive/step-dads is in Brad Paisley’s He Didn’t Have to Be – it always makes me cry!
My dad was in town for a while today and it was good to see him. We celebrated my husband’s birthday and Father’s Day last night. What about you? How do you celebrate?

How did you learn to love? Thursday, Elizabeth Maddrey talked about her parents’ love story and how it affected her writing.
Friday, Lisa Jordan stopped in from the hospital to tell us about everything they’re going through with their ill son – and how the love of friends has been so evident in the last week as their world turned a bit upside down. Hopefully, Lisa will stop in and give us an update. I do know things seem to be going better at the moment.
