As I sit here in my chair at 7:52am surfing the web, I am waiting for my kids to realize it is Father's Day and give me a hug! It'll dawn on 'em soon enough, and I can then use the guilt to get another cup of coffee and a nice breakfast out of it! Ah, guilt is such a good parental tool!

Happy Father's Day to all!

And on a serious note, I know there are folks on the boards that have lost their Fathers over the past year. May God keep you close in your memories today as you think about the good times, memories and all your Dads did for you over the years. You are in our prayers.

When I got home this morning, I MYSELF had forgotten about Father's day, momentarilly. Walked into the house to a few wrapped presents that Im dying to open, but figured I should wait for the kids to wake up before I go being selfish just to satisfy my curiosity...but ONE of the presents wasnt wrapped...and I thought it was the most awesome gift my kid could have ever given to me. My 18 year old is a great artist in my opinion......eccentric,but obviously talented. I personally dont have the same tastes as her when it comes to what qualifies as art and what doesnt....meaning that most of her art is really WEIRD and DARK and, well....some of it scares the hell out of me. On Mother's Day she made this paper-machet bust of a rabbit for my wife...this was the most demonic rabbit Ive ever seen!!! And it was HUGE......again, very well made,very detailed, very realistic....but it looked like SATAN THE BUNNY!! And we had to keep this thing displayed because...well....our kid MADE IT, and we had to be proud and supportive of her talents...but we would wake up at night and see this giant evil rabbit head starring at us from across the room, and darnit......it would sometimes make it hard to go back to sleep!!!
Ive stressed over and over that I would like just ONCE for her to do something for me that she KNEW I would like for reasons other than just because she made it. Today,I got that.....a regular drawing with no weird undertones or hidden messages of distress...just a happy little drawing that she went out of her way and went completely against her own idea of what ART means to her...for me!! She conformed. Thats something that I KNOW took ALOT for her to do....this, to HER, is JUNK...but I will keep this till the day I die!

Misti's Father's Day gift to me:

It REALLY IS the simple things in life that mean the most!
I hope your Fathers Day is as special for you guys as this has become for me!

Wow! That's an awesome portrait she did. What a wonderful gift and talent!
Also, it brings to mind our own budding artist (older DD) that is very gothic & always drawing those asian-style superhero figures all the time. I don't understand it, frankly, but then I remember my youthful metal craze & love of leather and big hair, so I cut her some slack.

Super nice ROG really nice art work you must be very proud get her started on the airbrushing and she is hired.

Rog..I'm tearing up reading your post. That drawing is BEAUTIFUL!
You must be very proud, not only is she extremely talented..but she's very thoughtful too!



Happy Father's Day to all of you Disboard Dad's!

She used poetic license and made Rog better looking than he really is.

Seriously, Roger, you should encourage her. She has a gift.

I mowed my lawn, moved a refrigerator and laid some pavers in front of my scooter shed.

I have some sage advice for Misti.....

RINGLING ART SCHOOL...SARASOTA, FLORIDA!!!

I don't have any art talent, but I do recognize artistic talent!
Get a portfolio together & submit it, PRONTO!! There are many backers of this school who have oodles of money to give to talented young students. Many students are grabbed by Disney as soon as they graduate.

This is an awesome gift - - although if she's as humble as her dad - she won't admit it. Truly, something to be cherished.

BTW - I saw her graduation picture on FB. She is breathtakingly beautiful!!! And Rog - you seriously looked "hubba-hubba-ish" in the suit & tie! You & your family are terrific!!!
