Happy Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads I know. As well as breakfast here’s what greeted me this am.

Cup cakes that say “Happy dad’s day”, a bunch of cards and some cool camping gear.



Cup cake word puzzles!


Two classic cards that sum up our unique parenting style!

Monadnock Hike

Hiking Monadnock with JMans school today. We took the Dublin Trail up and down. If memory serves me right it’s at least 10 years since I hiked Monadnock.


JMan at the trail head.


Trail art.

Not sure who Jim is/was but here’s his junction. This point is well past 1/2 way.


At the top. It was blowing like crazy but not too cold…..once we all got some cover from the wind.


JMan takes it all in.


The entire group…..and yes I was not the only adult.


The best part of hiking is killing all those calories you burned off on the mountain.

The (architectural) bible showed up

I ordered the latest Architectural Graphic Standards at the Philadelphia AIA convention last week. It showed up today!


All I’m missing now are the 1st, 6th and 7th editions. However, I spotted a nice looking 7th on eBay the other day!


Some people collect spoons….I collect graphic standards….

Farm visit

The farm stand down the road had an open house today and we went down with JMan for a bit.
