Not been a good year for watching storks this year. :-(
But some of the surviving ones are getting quite big and the Kocser kiddos will be ready to fledge soon. Already doing their flap-hopping.
Found a new nest cam last week and their chicks had just hatched. Egg laying has been really spread out this year.
As the years go by, the character of Father’s Day has constantly changed for me. It used to be fun to see what sort of gifts my children thought I would like. Paintings, handmade gifts, socks and ties.
Nowadays, my grandkids are giving me similar gifts and, if anything, I enjoy them even more as “PaPa” becomes my new moniker. I have to say that I am blessed to have three healthy children, their spouses and four wonderful grandkids in my life — that is a gift I am so grateful for.
I will do my best to remember that we are not promised another day and to be thankful.
