Just giving a shout-out to all the fellow dad's out there. Have a good Father's Day and enjoy!

Thanks, From the depths of the Sandbox.... Happy Father's day to you as well.

Happy Father's Day, boyos!

Anybody have any really special stories to share about your dad? Something that you enjoyed doing with him, a funny memory, something that really made you feel close to him or taught you a good life lesson. How about something foolish you did growing up and how he handled it? Just memories. My dad has been gone now for 6 years, and I find that some of the things he did that really irritated me like always telling corny jokes or playing Slim Whitman on the radio, are now things that I would give anything to have back. Miss you dad. See you later, alligator!

Although I am not a father, I just finished a fantastic Father's Day dish.

My wife and I spent the morning trimming the sidewalk. Lots of overgrown sod to load. I shoveled it off at the Helena transfer station, and then we headed to Costco.

There, we saw a 4 lb. flat of strawberrys for $5.99. "Should we buy it?" Karen asks me. Always the frugal one, I told her they would only grow fuzz on the counter. She retorted, "What if I bake a strawberry-rhubarb pie?"

All bets were off.

We returned from said megabox store, and Karen went immediately to the garden. I asked, "Can I get you a knife?" She laughed, as she broke all the rhubarb stalks by hand.

Here it is several hours later....and I just polished off a slice of the BEST STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE EVER!!!! Oh, and if you are wondering what gives me the right to make such a statement, I AM BETTY EMILSSON'S SON!!! (Sorry, mom, but Karen has perfected this pie......I think using rhubarb that was alive 3 hours ago might give her an unfair advantage, though).

Where is that darn "Like" button.
