We had a wonderful time celebrating Father’s Day this past weekend. We took a trip to where my dad resides, the small town of Spruce Pine, NC. This weekend also happened to be the weekend when all of the rhododendron bushes were in bloom on top of Roan Mountain. This mountain has tons of gorgeous hikes…which was our big plan for the day. Unfortunately, when climbing nearly 6300 feet, you find lots of rain and 50 degree weather in the middle June. Our big plans for a hike and picnic ended with 6 people packed in a small truck, throwing elbows and kicking ass…trying to make a sandwich. Oh and sending Shelbey, my 11 year old niece, out in the rain to the get the food out of the cooler. This could have been a disaster, but it actually turned out to be a fun afternoon. After the rain cleared, we were able to walk around and snap a few pics of the flowers…
These pictures don’t even do the view justice! This is what every scenic look off is like, I highly recommend this hike as a fun day trip!
Here’s a few fun pics of my dad and myself that I love. This first one was taken in a photo booth in New Jersey when I was two. I look like chubby boy and very unenthusiastic about taking a picture, but I love how young my dad looks. This is one of my favorites, and it hangs on my fridge.

My Dad is super creative and the ultimate handy man! In my opinion he can make and fix anything. There are many things in my home that he is made…
This is a bulletin board that hangs over a desk in my kitchen. Makes for a perfect information center
This was a birthday gift. Sunflowers are my favorite! It’s a hand wood burned image, all made out of one piece of wood. The second picture shows more of the beautiful texture.
This was a monogram sign my dad made for my wedding. It hung above the entrance to my reception venue. It turned out great!
Next….I’m trying to talk him into making me a hope chest 🙂 Love ya Dad!!

[…] an update on my subway sign project. Last weekend I was at my Dad’s house, so we tackled the job together. I knew exactly where I wanted the signs to go in my home, so […]
