Take a Dad to the Farmers’ Market

By John Hall for Blue Mountain Town & Country Gazette

As we progress through the summer we are going to have some fun content on summer activities, excursions and more. In this issue we will pay a lot of attention to farmers’ markets, but first a detour to wish all the dads out there a Happy Father’s Day! We hope you each have a great one and maybe you and your kids can visit a local farmers’ market to celebrate.

The farmers’ market is a great place to be. While

enjoying the outdoors (they are generally outdoors), you will sometimes find produce you never see at the grocery store. That’s particularly true when you speak about a greater variety of certain types of produce. But produce isn’t the only thing you’ll find at a farmers’ market, you’ll also find baked goods, farm-raised meat and poultry, prepared foods that can reflect the cultures of the area, and more.

The specific farmers’ market we’re going to look at in this issue is actually the very first public

farmers’ market established in our country. It is still completely active and it just happens to be very close by. See “America’s First Public Farmers’ Market” for all the details. You will probably want to go visit it sometime this summer.

Now as the days get warmer, we start to yearn for lighter fare. That's when it's time to start adding fresh vegetables to our meals. See “14 Great Vegetables for Flavor” to learn which veggies you can be on the lookout for at farmers’ markets to bring healthy flavor to your meals and snacks.

In terms of baked goods, a regional favorite you can definitely find at many farmers’ markets is the shoo-fly pie. We are going to highlight one recipe, as well as give you the historical significance of the pie and highlight information you may not know about three of its basic ingredients. Be sure and read “Horse & Buggy Wet-Bottom Shoo-Fly Pie” for all that information.

For this issue’s “Short Getaway:…” we thought it would be appropriate to focus on the Amish Country. The Amish culture is unique, their lives are all about farming – especially dairy farming and the Pennsylvania Amish Country is very nearby. It’s a great summer daytrip or weekend getaway, so in “Short Getaway: Amish Country”

we give you a bit of Amish history and just some of the things you can do during your trip.

And finally on a much more serious note, we look at something called “dry drowning.” It is something to know about as we enjoy the summer months ahead, which will very possibly include fun in and around water. See this important information in “Dry Drowning: What to Know this Summer.”

So that’s our issue! We look forward to seeing you next time when we switch our focus to straightup summer fun, from roller coasters to white-water rafting, but we also give you some important summer thunderstorm safety tips as well.

Lancaster's Central Market marks the site of America's oldest continuously operating public farmers' market, chartered to the people of Lancaster, PA, and operated by the City. It is one of a handful of municipal markets surviving in early 21st century America.

For Lancaster residents, the history and significance of the Central Market House is inseparable from the weekly activity of "market." For almost 300 years, Lancastrians have come to the central market square to buy foods from local growers and producers in a dedicated civic, communal space.

Fundamental Connections

The history of the Central Market holds fundamental connections between Lancaster's urban and rural communities, between the county's urban core and agricultural lands. While the

weekly custom of going to market originated in Pennsylvania’s colonial heritage, the particular character and long life of the Central Market have sprung from the agrarian values of Lancaster's Plain Sects and their deep roots in this region.

The current Central Market House was built in 1889, designed by John Warner, an English architect who ended up making Lancaster his home. The exceptionally attractive and functional building was finished in an astonishing five months.

Today only slightly altered from its original form, the Market House fills the market square, resting on an imposing base of red sandstone and framed by robust 72' twin towers at its front corners. Thirteen sets of double doors open into a dramatic

markets in the United States date back to the 1730 Lancaster Central Market.

The City of Lancaster, PA, was designated as a market town in 1730. The Lancaster Central Market was born that year on a 120-square-foot plot of land conveyed by Andrew and Ann Hamilton from their private estate. There, farmers would cart their bounty from the surrounding fruitful land to the heart of the newly settled municipality to sell their wares in the nowpublic, open field.

According to the Library of Congress, it is the oldest market of any kind in America. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) confirms farmers’

More than 60 local vendors call today’s Central Market House home three days each week. On those days a walk through its aisles will find an abundance of produce from the deeply nutrient-rich soils native to the local landscape. You will also find an array of prepared foods representing the proud cultural diversity of the county, as well as locally sourced meat, poultry, cheeses, and more.

The Early Market

The early market was an important, encouraging factor in King George II designating Lancaster as a market town. And upon its official charter as a borough in 1742, the royal decree proclaimed Lancaster was to hold “two markets in each week of the year forever in the lot of ground already agreed upon for that purpose and granted for that use.”

In 1889 the beautiful Market House that stands in Penn Square today was built. For complete information on today’s market, visit: www.centralmarketlancaster.com.

14 Great Vegetables for Flavor

SOURCE: pioneerwoman.com (edited)

As the days get warmer, we start to yearn for lighter fare. That's when it's time to start adding fresh vegetables to our family dinners. We're talking crispy stalks of asparagus, snappy peas of every type, and tender lettuce leaves – not to mention the bright colors of radishes, rhubarb, and carrots.

Farmers' markets are a great place to source the freshest vegetables. There's nothing quite like freshly picked veggies eaten raw in salads for

lunch, sautéed for dinner, or even as part of a healthier air fryer recipe. Whether it's a sunny brunch or a dinner al fresco, try adding a few of these fresh, delicious vegetables to your plate.

Asparagus / Choose asparagus that feel solid, not rubbery or mushy. They're amazing when roasted or grilled – and they're surprisingly quick to cook.

Snap Peas / Choose crispy pods, then shuck and steam them. They can be used in a wide variety of recipes.

Arugula / The slightly peppery bite of arugula

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12,

adds flavor to salads, pasta dishes, or pizza toppings. It's available year-round but is found in farmers' markets in spring.

Sorrel / Sorrel has a tangy, lemony taste that works well in salads or soups. It’s a lesser known heirloom perennial green.

Swiss Chard / Swiss chard is both beautiful and delicious with its rainbow-hued stalks and bright green leaves. You can chop it and add to egg dishes, soups, or side dishes.

Snow Peas / You can eat the entire pod of snow peas, which makes them easy to cook and amazing in stir fry dishes or salads.

Spring Onions / Often confused with scallions, spring onions have more of a bulb-shaped end. Sweet and delicious, roast them whole to savor their flavor, or add raw slices to salads, or pickle to enjoy all year.

Lettuce / Of course, you'll find every kind of lettuce imaginable year-round in supermarkets. But farmers' markets have an even wider selection in spring that’s been harvested locally.

Rhubarb / Rhubarb’s tart kick makes it ideal in both savory and sweet recipes; generally available fresh from late spring through early summer.

Radishes / The spicy bite of radishes makes them tasty for snacking or adding to salads. Plus, the leaves are edible, too. You’ll often find delicious heirloom or unusual varieties when purchased fresh from the farmers' market.

Spinach / Spinach is available year-round. Use raw in spinach salads, baked in classic spinach pie, or mixed into a super-easy spinach dip.

Shallots / Shallots are related to onions, but they have a much milder flavor, like a buttery onion or mild garlic.

Ramps / Ramps are actually wild leeks, which have an oniony-garlicky flavor that mellows when sautéed. Their season is incredibly brief, so snag them when you see them. Typically, you'll only find them at farmers' markets.

Carrots / Carrots love cool weather, so they're sweetest in the coldest months of the year. They're sold at supermarkets year-round, but fresh baby carrots are often available only at farmers' markets. Remove the tops but do not peel them until you're ready to use.

Short Getaway: Amish Country

SOURCE: letsroam.com (edited)

For your next short getaway, we suggest heading out for a day trip or even a long weekend to Pennsylvania’s Amish Country. As you probably know, PA has one of the nation’s largest and oldest Amish communities. If you’ve never been, you will see and enjoy a much simpler way of life during your visit.

During your getaway you will find many relaxing, interesting and educational activities in the area. Deciding what to do during this particular getaway may be tough because there really are many options – far more than we will be able to highlight in any real detail here

Lancaster County

Lancaster County is a picturesque destination. Just for reference, Walnutport to the City of Lancaster is only 75 miles – just more than an hour-and-a-half drive. As you make the journey, prepare to be enchanted by scenic rolling hills, charming farmhouses, and the timeless sight of horse-drawn buggies (some moving at a pretty good “clip-clop”).

In addition to all that, prepare yourself for mouthwatering food. The Amish are famous for their Shoofly Pies and all-you-can-eat dinner joints. You will not go hungry on this particular outing.

Amish Country Adventure

An Amish Country getaway revolves around witnessing the extraordinary way of life embraced by a community that wholeheartedly upholds centuries-old historical and religious practices. While exploring the area, you’ll encounter individuals dressed in traditional attire. The Amish, like the Mennonites, are a branch of the Anabaptist sect of Protestant Christianity. As such, they must adhere to a strict dress code in an effort to avoid vanity and preserve modesty.

Clothing is characterized by solid colors and simple patterns. Women wear aprons and bonnets, while men sport a beard and traditional vest. There are several orders within the community – some more modern than others.

Of Note: The Amish community does not appreciate the act of photography. Please ask before you photograph a person in Amish Country.

Traverse the countryside on a horse and buggy ride / Truly experience the Amish way of life by booking a horse buggy tour, which you can do in the town of Bird in Hand. If you opt for an authentic Amish-guided tour, it will undoubtedly be conducted via a horse-drawn buggy.

The Pastor’s Pewee

Dear people:

As we were saying, Pastor Harbaugh used rather much English in his first poem [Das Alt Schulhaus An Der Krick, The old Schoolhouse by the Creek], but his "The Pewee/Phoebe" (May 1862 [First publishing date.]) has hardly any: Pewee, pewee, pewittitee!

Ei, pewee, are you back? Now sit down on the post And sing your morning piece.

You stayed a long time in summer land, You are gone since October; Are you well known down there? How are the birds there?

It's nice there in the orange trees: Right, there's no snow at all there? But you sometimes feel homesickness When it's time to go!

You are right welcome with us here; Think, you are not too early, The morning doesn't look that way— Right, you little pewee?

Pewee, where are you going to build this year? You may choose where you want; Do you want a place at the house? I'll willingly give it to you.

I'll give you new dirt for nothing, Horsehair and flax and grass stalks;

Take it anyhow!—l know your tricks, You smart little rascal!

I'm just kidding, my pewee friend, I don't count you to be a thief If you had lined your nest with my gold, I would love you just as much.

A spring without you, pewee, Would be like an empty world! Your service, my dear little bird, One doesn't pay with money!

Pewee, what a mild air you bring!

The spring sun, how nice!

There will be, because you sing in the morning, No more winter days.

Pewee, pewee, pewittitee!

I'm glad that you are back; Now sit down on the post And sing your morning piece!

And how many English words did you good readers read? No, you may not count nau and yuscht ["now" and "just"]; they are two very old German words!

Take care,

The Old Professor (Earl C. Haag in his newspaper column, ‘9 o’clock Snack-break’)

[So, what bird visited Rev. Henry Harbaugh’s place? As Earl C. Haag suggests, it was probably a Phoebe, a bird that looks similar in appearance, but has a different nesting habits and wintering locations. Read their brief descriptions below and then decide!

Eastern Wood-pewee Contopus virens

The eastern wood-pewee breeds throughout eastern North America from southern Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. To locate this drab, olive-gray, sparrow-size bird, listen for the male’s namesake call—pee-o-wee—which is given throughout the day but particularly at dawn and dusk. Pewees use almost every woodland habitat, including woodlots, woods edges, mature forests (both deciduous and mixed), parks, and urban areas with shade trees. They perch in one place for an extended period, flying out to snag passing insects; one study found an average perching height of 35 feet above the ground. Pewees eat flies, beetles, small wasps, and moths. They also consume elderberries, blackberries, and fruits of dogwood and pokeweed.

Males defend breeding territories of 2 to 6 acres. Pairs begin nesting in late May. The nest is a compact cup woven of plant matter, hairs, and spider silk; its outer surfaces studded with lichens; it looks like a larger version of the ruby throated hummingbird’s nest. The three eggs are incubated by the female and hatch after 12 or 13

days. Both parents feed the young, who make their first flights at 14 to 18 days. The species departs from Penn’s Woods in August and September, with a few individuals hanging on until October. Wood-pewees winter in the tropics from Panama to Bolivia, in shrubby woods and along forest edges. https://www.pgc.pa.gov/Education/ WildlifeNotesIndex/Documents/Flycatchers%20 hr.pdf

Eastern Phoebe Sayornis phoebe

One of our most familiar eastern flycatchers, the Eastern Phoebe’s raspy “phoebe” call is a frequent sound around yards and farms in spring and

summer. These brown-and-white songbirds sit upright and wag their tails from prominent, low perches. They typically place their mud-and-grass nests in protected nooks on bridges, barns, and houses, which adds to the species’ familiarity to humans. Hardy birds, Eastern Phoebes winter farther north than most other flycatchers, migrating to wintering grounds from the southeastern United States to southern Mexico. It's one of the last birds to head south, often lingering until late fall. and are one of the earliest returning migrants in spring. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Eastern_ Phoebe/overview ]

Horse & Buggy WetBottom Shoo-Fly Pie

SOURCE: food.com (edited)

In this article we have a recipe for a wet-bottom shoo-fly pie, but first, a little history.

The shoo-fly pie began as a crust-less molasses cake called centennial cake in 1876, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia. There doesn’t appear to be any evidence of it being made before the American Civil War.

In the 1880s, home bakers added a crust to make it easier to eat alongside a cup of coffee in the morning, without plates and forks. Because shoofly pie traditionally contains molasses but no eggs, historians conclude that it was typically baked during the winter, when chickens laid fewer eggs and molasses could be stored in the cold weather without fear of it fermenting. The use of baking powder places its invention firmly after the Civil War and in the 1870s.

And now enjoy this “Horse & Buggy WetBottom Shoo-Fly Pie” recipe, along with three informational “pull-outs” at the end on some of the ingredients:

Ready In: 55 mins

Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour

• 2/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed

• 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening

• 1 egg

• 8 fluid ounces molasses

• 6 fluid ounces boiling water

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1 (9 inch) unbaked pastry shell

Directions

1. Mix together the flour, brown sugar and shortening. You might also consider adding 1/4 tsp each of Ginger, Cloves and Nutmeg.

2. Set aside 1/2 cup of this mixture for the topping.

3. Add to the remaining mixture the egg, molasses, boiling water and baking soda.

4. Spread this mixture into the un-baked pie shell.

5. Spread the 1/2 cup of crumb topping over the pie.

6. Bake at 375°F for 10 minutes.

7. Reduce temperature to 350°F and bake for 30 minutes or until firm.

Speaking of brown sugar, did you know? / Brown sugar is white sugar combined with molasses, which gives it a soft texture. Light and dark are the two most common styles of brown sugar. Lighter brown sugar generally has the more delicate flavor. Very dark or old-fashioned brown sugar has a more intense molasses flavor. Store brown sugar in a plastic bag. To re-soften, include an apple wedge with the brown sugar in a plastic bag and seal tightly for 1-2 days.

Speaking of baking soda, did you know? / Baking soda is a leavening agent that reacts when combined with an acid such as buttermilk, yogurt or molasses producing carbon dioxide bubbles which cause dough to rise. Baking soda reacts immediately when wet, so should always be added

to dry ingredients first. Once the batter is wet it should be put in the oven immediately.

Speaking of molasses, did you know? / Molasses is the left over liquid when extracting the sugar from boiled sugar cane and sugar beets. Light molasses is from the first boiling. Dark molasses is from the second boiling. Blackstrap molasses is from the third boiling and is somewhat bitter and only slightly more nutritious than the other varieties. Less expensive than sugar, molasses was the primary sweetener used in America until after World War I.

Berlinsville Primary & Lehigh Township High School—Built 1909—Closed 1956/1976

The public education from the mid-1800s to 1956, taught in one, two and multi-room schools throughout Lehigh Township, Northampton County, PA. Most of the former schools are now either residences or are being used commercially. Some of them no longer exist. The last remaining oneroom schoolhouse in Lehigh Township not privately owned is St. Paul’s Schoolhouse.

The children walked far every day to attend school, usually walking through all kinds of weather. Students brought their own lunch to a school building with no electricity (early on), no running water, outhouses for their personal needs, and heated by a coal or wood stove. The teacher taught all ages and grades in one room and was also responsible for cleaning the classroom and tending to the coal stove. The students learned penmanship, reading, writing, arithmetic, science, and history as well as art and music. Recess was also a special part of the day that the students looked forward to, playing Ring Around the Rosie, London Bridge, baseball, to name a few. The new Lehigh Township Elementary School opened in 1956.

The Lehigh Township Public Schools were: St. Paul’s One-Room School (Indianland), Berlinsville Primary & Lehigh Township High School, Lehigh Gap one-Room School, Harpers One-Room School, Lehigh Elementary School, Howersville School, Danielsville One-Room School, Danielsville Two-Room School, Slate Valley (Henry’s) One-Room School, Rockville One-Room School, Farbers One-Room School, Huth’s One-Room School (near Pennsville) Pennsville Two-Room School, Pennsville One-Room School-(exact site unknown), Petersville One-Room School, Cherryville Two-Room School, Kuntzford (Treichlers) One-Room School, and Treichlers Two-Room School.

Thank you to the Lehigh Township Historical Society for the information about the schoolhouses in Lehigh Township.

Dry Drowning: What to Know this Summer

SOURCE: health.clevelandclinic.org (edited)

Dry drowning is an airway closure from choking on water without getting fluid in your lungs. Dry drowning is defined as a respiratory impairment – that is, being unable to breathe – because you’ve been submerged in water. You may also have heard the term secondary drowning. Thankfully, dry drowning, as well as secondary drowning, aren’t quite what you may think they mean.

For starters, “dry drowning” is not a real medical term. That said you can be seriously injured if you survive a near-drowning experience, especially if you have a water incident where you can’t breathe or you get water in your lungs. Here is what the term “dry drowning” means, when you should be worried, and what symptoms to look out for.

What is Dry Drowning?

All drowning events require exposure to water. But the term “dry drowning” emerged to explain what happens during certain drowning experiences.

When you are struggling underwater and unable to come up for air, you experience a reflex called

a laryngeal spasm. This spasm shuts off your airway, meaning you can no longer breathe.

When this airway closure happens and no water goes into your lungs, that’s technically dry drowning. The injury happens from a lack of air and asphyxiation.

What is Secondary Drowning?

What people refer to as secondary drowning is better described as a secondary injury from a neardrowning. This injury most often happens when water does get into your airway.

For example, inhaling water before your airway clamps shut from a laryngeal spasm can be a big concern. Too much water can cause lung damage and breathing problems that become serious six to 12 hours later.

One of the most serious conditions you can get from ingesting water into your lungs is pulmonary edema. That’s when fluid starts accumulating in your lungs, causing swelling. Your lungs stop functioning correctly. This can be a serious medical emergency.

Signs and Symptons of Dry Drowning

The signs and symptoms of dry drowning are the same as the ones you experience when drowning. So, if you come up sputtering after a cannonball, you’re not necessarily at risk of suddenly drowning the next day. However, if you’ve had a near-drowning experience, symptoms can show up after you’ve left the water.

In other words, you’ll cough a lot and may think any water you inhaled is gone, but 12 hours later, you might start to experience breathing problems because your lungs are swelling from water. You should immediately get checked out by a medical expert to make sure your lungs are clear and undamaged.

But you will likely know if something is wrong soon after you leave the water, as the signs of pulmonary edema emerge quickly. Warning signs

Dry Drowning

after a water incident can include heavy, persistent coughing, shortness of breath or trouble breathing. More serious symptoms include change of skin color, high fever – this can occur even 24 hours after the incident, loss of consciousness, and vomiting or foaming at the mouth.

If you’ve had exposure to water and it was a near-drowning, these are significant signs that you should see a doctor right away.

BIRTHDAY COUPON

Lehigh Township Historical Society News

Submitted by Ruth Hall Kent

On May 28th a group of 16 students and 2 teachers from the 4th and 5th grades gifted challenge classes from the Northampton Area School District visited the St. Paul’s One-Room Schoolhouse on Almond Rd in Indianland as part of their annual Magical History Tour. The tour field trip was organized by Gifted Support teacher Pam Kremus. A short program discussing what school was like almost 100 years ago was led by Ruth Hall Kent, LTHS President and Earl Buss, LTHS Director. Earl attended St. Paul’s school from 1937 to 1945 and he shared stories from his school days. The students completed a photo scavenger hunt searching for various items throughout the school building. Next year the group hopes to visit the Lehigh Township Historical Centre Museum in Pennsville. We invite small groups such as Scouts or other school or civic groups to plan to visits either location. Call our office at 610-440-0151 to schedule, or message us on Facebook or our website.

Our next Open House for 2024 will be held on Sunday June 16th from 1 to 4 pm at the Lehigh Township Historical Centre. The St. Paul’s One-Room Schoolhouse in Indianland will also be open at the same time. There is no admission charge for visiting either site but donations are welcomed.

June 9th is also the final day to place your advance order for our BBQ to GO Take-Out Dinners scheduled for Saturday, June 15th. We will also have a Bake Sale during the sale with leftovers for sale during Open House on Sunday. See our classified ad in this issue for details about calling in an order.

Dog Scared of Fireworks? Here’s What to Do

Dr. Sharon Campbell

Fireworks are common throughout the summer, especially on holidays like Independence Day. What we might see as a fun way to celebrate can be terrifying for our furry friends. Loud booms and bright flashes of lights can be seriously distressing for your dog.

What Is Noise Aversion?

At least one-third of dogs suffer from noise aversion, a fear and anxiety exhibited upon hearing loud noises (including fireworks) that leads to stress, suffering and potentially-destructive

behavior. Other terms used to describe this response to noise include noise anxiety or noise phobia. Noise aversion shouldn’t be a normal part of “being a dog,” as it’s actually a serious medical condition that can be treated. Even though noise aversion is a medical condition, only 40% of owners of dogs that display noise aversion signs seek help from their veterinarian. This is particularly sad, as delaying the diagnosis and treatment can increase both the frequency and severity of a dog’s symptoms, worsen their overall quality of life,

How Noise Aversion Impacts Dogs

When a dog with a noise aversion to fireworks hears them, it’s terrifying and causes great distress. It’s similar to a person experiencing a panic attack. This fear and anxiety causes their heart to race, puts them on heightened alert, and may even cause them to engage in destructive behavior. This destructive behavior can cause your dog to injure themselves trying to escape their environment, or damage their surroundings by chewing furniture,

scratching floors and doors, or digging holes in your yard. Untreated noise aversion can also lead to or worsen other canine anxieties, like separation anxiety or general anxiety. It can become a bit of a vicious cycle for an undiagnosed and untreated dog.

How Do I Know My Dog Has Noise Aversion?

Noise aversion is a medical diagnosis, but you need to recognize and speak to your veterinarian about your dog’s signs before diagnosis and

treatment can begin. Use this noise aversion checklist to see if your dog is displaying any of the signs and behaviors that might indicate a noise aversion to fireworks. If they are, it’s time for a visit to your vet to confirm the diagnosis and then figure out a treatment and management plan.

What Should I Do if My Dog Has Noise Aversion?

If your veterinarian confirms the diagnosis of noise aversion, your dog’s treatment plan may include a combination of medications, behavior modification, and environmental modification.

• Medication

Different medications may be prescribed, including a medication that you can administer to your dog before or as fireworks occur. This can help provide your dog with more immediate relief from their noise aversion symptoms.

• Behavior Modification

Behavior modification techniques such as counterconditioning and systematic desensitization can help your dog become less fearful of the noise. When using behavior modification techniques, it’s often best to work with a board-certified veterinary behaviorist or a rewards-based, certified dog trainer (ask your veterinarian for a

• Environmental Modification

Your veterinarian may also recommend ways to modify your dog’s environment. You can create a safe haven for your dog following these tips.

• Create a safe zone in an interior room, away from windows, if possible (a bathroom or closet works best). If not, draw the blinds or use blackening shades to help prevent flashes of light, which are associated with fireworks.

• Place their crate, blankets, food and water, and a favorite toy in this area to help them relax and like spending time in this space.

• Add white noise or use a fan to help muffle the noises associated with fireworks. Alternatively, turn on music (loud enough to drown out the noise but not so loud that you frighten your dog even more).

Remember that your dog is reacting to the noise out of fear and anxiety, so never punish your dog for their noise aversion signs, as that will only make your dog more fearful and anxious.

Noise aversion is a terrible experience for your dog. By identifying the signs and speaking to your veterinarian to initiate treatment early, you can prevent your dog from suffering and keep her a

Happy Father’s Day

submitted by Harold ‘Nick” Seyfried

Everyone can be a father, but it takes a really special person to be a Dad -Wayne Boggs It takes a big man to bend over and touch the heart of a little child -Unknown

A dad is a horsey for this little buckaroo, He can dry my tears with his smiles.

He can lift me so high, yet cuddle me to be safe and warm, He showed me how to love when he hugs and kisses my Mom.

He always loves us by teaching us what is right. And has the patience to correct us when our choices we make are wrong.

Dad taught us to be leaders, independent and pioneers. We go camping, play ball and have quality time together.

We go fishing, hunting and sleigh riding. I get so tired, he would pull me home on the sled. I thought this was neat cause I’d fall asleep.

Dad always picked mom to go play hide n seek. I never could figure that out until I was older.

Dad worked really hard, he put food on our table. Taught us how to drive as we became able.

He sent us to college, walked the girls down the aisle. Then he became Pop Pop, Boy did he ever smile!

Yes Dad is love, caring, a very generous man, his time, his money and his services so grand.

Even today I can ask for advice, he’ll say Son tell me all about it. We’ll go thru it together.

So this Father’s Day, if I touched on a point or two. Call your Dad and make him feel glad. Send him a gift, give him a card and say “Happy Father’s Day Dad”

Better yet be like the Hallmark Company, care enough to send him your very best. Show up in person with an “I love you”

PS - to all the Dads who raised kids who are not your own, adopted, fostered or blended families we salute you too and a special salute to all Grandfathers and Great Grandfathers.

Happy Father’s Day!
