My earliest memories of dad have always been of him manicuring his garden in the backyard when I was little.  Every evening, he would go down the hill to his garden and faithfully tend to it.  I believe that it is the most beautiful garden, that I have ever seen.

 I've always remembered Him doing the grocery shopping. 

He is the main chef in the family, cooking some of the best tasting and nicest looking food I've ever had.

When we moved into this house he put in all the wood floors, and redid most of the house.  Growing up, I was proud to have a contractor/carpenter for a dad.

He loves working on his laptop, and updating our computers as they need be.

He enjoys bidding (or watching bids) on Ebay, periodically buying something and getting a good deal.

Dad is the main "Baker-Man" at the bakery.  He makes all the bread, and keeps the inventory on all the items we sell.

In his "spare" time he loves to read.  The one word that sticks out in my mind about Dad is "Faithfulness".  He has provided for the family, even when finances were tight.  And not only has he provided.  Dad is full of wisdom.  I am so grateful to the Lord for giving 

me such a man as my father.  I've always thought that if I could find a man like dad to marry, then I would do very well.  He is the idea of the kind of man I would like to find. 

I'll always remember the years of going out shopping with mom when we were all kids..the picture was much like this.  She was the perfect mom.  Growing up were the most peaceful/contented  years of my life.  She made our house a real home.

Her life has always been her family, taking care of us and loving us  in every way possible.  She is what I consider to be the epitome of the perfect mom.

From the time I can remember Mom has always loved hydrangias. She has a beautiful collection..of all different kinds of items.

Mom loves sitting in her chair, reading all her many devotionals and Bible.  I think that this is her favorite thing to do.

We make mom happy with Birkenstocks, Girvenchy Perfume or . 

She loves to drink tea of all kinds in the evenings with Cori. 

This year she got a new IBook laptop where she does all of the "business" behind the scenes work for EduCARE and CIAS. 

I appreciate having a mom who loves Jesus more than anything else in the world.  She has given her life to raise us to love Him too.  She cares for souls and has a tender spot when she knows that some one needs the Lord.  She has been taking good care of me, since I became sick.  Sometimes I think I might not survive if she did not make me the drinks, etc..that she so willingly makes every day.  I do appreciate and love her very much!
