What do I remember about him? I remember how we always watched scary movies together, and "The Alfred Hitchcock Show". I remember how he put notes on my bedroom door declaring it a "disaster area". I remember I remember how we teased my brother when we dropped him off at high school in the morning. I remember him grilling bratwurst and hamburgers on the grill in the summer and buying "one more tank of gas" for the boat so we could water ski. I remember him sharing his peanut butter toast in the morning with the two dogs sitting on each side of him at the table. He would even tease them! I remember that twinkle in his eye, when he was joking or teasing someone. Most of all I remember that he was a faithful, devoted father and I know that we were the most important people in his life. Thank you Dad. Happy Father's Day. I love you with a thousand hearts.

A Tribute
Today is Father's Day. It's been 3 years since I've been able to wish my dad a happy Father's Day. He had Alzheimer's, but thankfully, always knew who we were. The last time I saw him, I brought him a piece of blueberry pie that I made. It was hard for him to communicate, but I know he really enjoyed that pie!

New Collages
What is it about the mountains that gets me inspired? The fresh air, lack of distraction, blue skies and white fluffy clouds? I don't know, but I have a feeling it's a little bit of everything with an emphasis on lack of distraction. In the past two and a half days, I have made 8 small beeswax collages. Two of them are samples for a class that I hope to teach and the others are to sell or give as gifts.
We arrived at the cabin on Wednesday. I unpacked, did some organizing, picked up some flowers and tomato plants and got them planted, but I skipped the whole cleaning of the cabin for now. I just hit the highlights and will tackle the major cleaning later on (MAYBE). Last year I think I did one room a day. I think I did them all in a row so that may have to be changed.
Anyway, here are some photos of the collages. Now back to work.
