Kent-ography is a weekly tribute to my Dad, who lost his battle with ALS in December 2013. I wanted to feature some of his awesome photography, or as I like to call it “pics my Dad took.”

I’m going to be taking a break with Recipe Roundup for the next month or 2. That’s not to say I won’t have a recipe here or there to post. I hope to start working on budget friendly menu plans with recipes for the fall. In the mean time here are the 9 recipes I shared during the Recipe Roundups the last 2 months!
This month I was happy about: Teenager getting a job.
This month I was sad because of: Father’s Day and missing my Dad.
Something I accomplished this month was: not much of anything, it doesn’t seem like.

Cruising in my opinion is one of the best ways to travel for a multitude of reasons. It’s usually economical. You can visit new places, while still being able to relax, and enjoy being pampered. I’ve put together this post as go to place for all my cruising information.

Next Cruise: Where should we go on our next one?
I’m sure I depressed everyone with my posts about my Dad over Father’s Day Weekend. However, today marks 6 months since he’s been gone. My brother’s post on Facebook saying, “Wow six months,” I replied: “Ugh. Hits ya in the gut. Sometimes it seems like yesterday, but others seems like he’s been gone forever. However, my brain still seems to think that I can call him up to ask him something or share something funny. I guess that may never go away.” I’m amazed at how the pain hasn’t subsided. Maybe it’s still too early…I don’t know. Since I was in denial for a good month or so, it’s been a slow process. I’d say in a lot of ways, with each passing day, it gets harder. The realization that he’s gone and I suppose until I’m willing to except that, it won’t get any easier.
Here’s a pic my brother posted on Father’s Day that I’d never seen before…
The pics that are of Dad, obviously he didn’t take them. These were taken before Selfies existed. They were, however, taken with his camera. Love his smile.
