Cold Beer With A Black Knight

I was having a lot of fun rummaging through my fellow scavenger hunter's stores to wrap up this week's theme of  "cool beverage" because they all had so many items to choose from!  But when I came across the Black Knight Mug at Bargain Express, I thought this is it!  She's got goblets and all kinds of glassware for any kind of cool beverage you care to drink.  For me, it's 100F here today and all I can think of is when I get home from work I'm going to kick back, have an ice cold beer and start the week-end!  Now, wouldn't you like to drink a beer with this Black Knight?  He's awesome!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.  Hope you're having a blast doing what you love most, whatever that may be!  My own dad passed away in 1991.  He was a WWII veteran serving mostly in Germany.  He was a great guy and became quite the avid golfer when he and mom sold the house and moved to a retirement community with a golf course. My favorite memory of him is one night when I was around 17 years old and I didn't have any plans for that evening ( what 17 year old doesn't have plans????) he said he'd give me a beer if I stayed home and watched a movie with the old man.  A beer?? At 17??  Oh yeah, like I hadn't drunk a beer (or way too many) at 17, but what the heck, a beer that was blessed by my father!

I no longer recall the movie but whatever it was we didn't watch it anyway, we talked and talked; about mom, his job, my siblings, my school, and why I dated guys who looked like Jesus Christ, my plans for the future and anything else that came up.  It was a magical night that brought us close.  He loved me and trusted me, and wanted me to know he had faith in me in whatever path I chose.  Thanks dad for everything, I love you.  Here's to you, bottom's up!
