hehe ! Never been to Florida. Hope to make it there one of these days! Thanks. :^D

Got to Dad's before 10:30 and we left shortly after I got there. My aunt fixed some fried Crappie my uncle had caught at Lake Palestine, some baked potatoes and hush puppies, green salad, onions and we had some fresh Better Boy tomatoes my Dad grew in his garden this year, and iced tea. Top that off with a fresh blackberry cobler. Yum ! I asked my aunt if she had a wheel barrow I could use to tote my tummy with after that ! haha ! :^D

We played a couple of games of Chickenfoot after that. (If you're not familiar with that, it a dominoe game played with a set of double 9 dominoes).

Went back to Dad's and I changed a bandage on his back where he'd had a cyst removed last Thursday. I also reset his clock on his answering machine and then headed back home. I just got home about half an hour ago.

It was a very laid-back pleasant Juneteenth.

Is it Juneteenth?

Fried Crappie? Sounds interesting. You're dinner makes me hungry for tomatoes. I miss having a garden. Glad your dad is better.

We play chickenfoot all the time except we call it Mexican Dominoes. We're all ruthless at that game. My own MIL will crush and destroy her small grandchild just to win. We always have a good time playing that game, except when Grandma makes Jonah cry. Grrrrr...
