Take Two!

(I previously posted the results of this weekends baseball games below entitled Disappointments! )

This is my second entry for today because as I sat at my computer this morning, I was remembering last years Fathers Day. A funny thing happened last year, I forgot Fathers Day.
You see, Kathleen's birthday is June 18th and the last few years has fallen on or near Father's Day. Last year we had a party for her on Fathers Day. Early, early in the morning the kids gave Tom some cards and gifts and we did some yard work and then spent the day getting ready for and celebrating Kathleens birthday. I never thought of Fathers Day again....until the next morning when I woke up in horror!! I cried over it, I could not beleive that I had forgotten my very own Dad on Fathers Day!

I immediately went to my computer and composed an email to my Dad and I included a little poem. I just searched through my email until I found it so I could read it again, I thought I would share it with you all......I will pick it up where I have made my lousy excuse for forgetting and and am explaing how awful I felt..........
"So today I feel terrible for having forgot but I am banking on you understanding.

I could not have a better Father.....I am a lucky girl. I have enjoyed being your favorite daughter for years!
If I had remembered to call you I may have just said "Happy Fathers Day from your favorite daughter" but now as I sit here I have made a list of reasons I have the Best Dad and what my Dad has taught me."
