happy father's day!

I'm feeling grateful today for my own father, who just headed back to North Carolina a few days ago after a wonderful visit here, and also Bella's daddy, who is patiently waiting for me to write this post so he can stream the basketball game on this computer. Hurrying is the least I can do, since he just played dream dad all day at the SF zoo. Thank you, Dad, Dave, and all you wonderful fathers out there!

By the way, I snapped the bottom photo a few days ago, while Anabelle and Dave were playing on the lawn. Looking at it, I got the uncanny feeling that I'd seen it before, and rummaged through an album to find the top photo, taken of me and my dad. I love the fact that the two family pets, our dog Ralph, top, and our cat Sadie, bottom are both hanging out too.
