Klinde -

What fun getting to know you some on Thursday night.

Thanks for the Father's Day Post. I've been surfing looking for folks that put up something special about the Day or the dads that we honor today.

I haven't had a lot of luck finding anything. Not a lot out there - or, more to the point, not as much out there as I expected to find.

Thus your post was most welcome and appreciated.

Blessings,

Blue Collar Muse
