Happy Father's Day.

I am thinking today of my wonderful husband and wishing him a happy Father's Day.  Being the good dad that he is, he is out in the middle of some lake along the Canadian-Minnesota border, canoeing, portaging and camping with his sons.

Fred and I have been together for a long time. As with any long term relationship there have been many ups and downs.  Even during down phases I always respected and admired Fred for the amazing father he is to our children...and the good example he is to our friends, and our sons' friends. 

PS....Doesn't Fred look good? He lost 30 lbs to get ready for this trip and no longer has to take medication for his blood sugar! I kinda hate him...but am proud and happy for him too.

I hate to say it...but yes, well done Frd.
I've been dieting for months and have only managed to lose 12lbs....so I hate him too.

I find that if you think you've lost weight that if you look behind you, you will usually find it. :P

Well done, Fred.

The man hasn't had pasta, french fries or a beer in a month.

That's the best part. A very tangible result.

OMG. And he is still alive?

Marianne Librarian said...

And hasn't killed anyone...

A beerless Frd can't be a good thing.
