Happy Fathers Day! I’m working. but due to the nature of my job, and because it’s Sunday, the Mrs and kids are gonna drop by and bring me some supper later on!
Renewing my practical nursing license. Excitement!
Out youngest son just graduated from boot camp in n Georgia. We drove down from WI to spend the weekend with him, we’re dropping him back off right now.
Cooked my wife breakfast and mowed the lawn. No rest for the wicked.
I took mine for a ride in the bizjet I fly - went to Spokane from Seattle then down to Portland and home. There were others onboard at the same time.
I’ve been tearing up a portion of my front yard working on an irrigation problem. The solution has been found and corrections will commence shortly. I had to rent a trencher on two separate occasions!
I’m sure my neighbors will be glad to see me reassembling my landscaping.
Went to church just like any Sunday.
Our son popped by to do laundry and wished me a happy commercial holiday.
One daughter said she was venmoing money so we could go out for dinner.
The kids don’t call, they don’t write - what’s a dad to do?
Forgive them, I suppose, but it still bothers a little.
Got hugs from my kids (15-22), now watching Return of the Jedi on FX (Darth Vader is a Dad, right?)
Read the card my daughters gave me.
Went to church.
Called my dad.
Called my brother, since it is also his birthday.
Catching up on work (stupid Comcast).
Will have dinner later with the in-laws.
My daughter is on her way to take me to Culvers.
Got a new golf bag and going to Top Golf this evening.
Spent the morning worshiping our Lord and Savior at Sunday School and morning service. I’m Cooking BBQ pork ribs, corn of the cob and beans. It’s a Great Day.
Made a bbq for my 2 NORMAL Kids and grandson and then off to the community pool:-)
The USGA always holds the final round of the US Open on Father’s Day, and I always cooperate by watching it, as I’m doing right now. DeChambeau leads Rory by one.
It’s one for the books. My baby girl is getting married tomorrow, so LOTS of relatives around. I started a brisket smoking at midnight and just took it off the smoker 13 hours later. Back from church and should be able to relax and watch the chaos for a few hours now as EVEN MORE show up here.
I made hubby a nice late breakfast/brunch this morning. I made cheesy scrambled eggs filled with sautéed mushrooms, shallots, a mixture of Swiss, Guyere, and Jarlsberg cheeses, freshly snipped French tarragon from my herb garden, with a slice of toasted sourdough and bacon on the side. Oh, and baby potatoes with dill, too.
With a late breakfast like that we skip lunch and will have dinner in a while. On the menu tonight is prime ribeye steaks, which he will grill (he’s the master on the grill). I’ll do the sides of taters, steamed broccoli with horseradish butter, and a salad. I’ll also be sautéing mushrooms with melted morel and leek Jack cheese to top the steaks with. Fine steak restaurants don’t have anything on us in that regard.
He has had phone calls and FaceTime calls with each of our kids and grandkids. Texts from every sister and brother in law. It’s pretty warm here today. We sat out on the deck earlier and there is a lovely breeze. Took a walk through the neighborhood, which is a daily routine. Right now he has the 2024 European Championship on. It’s like the World Cup but just European national teams playing. I like letting him do whatever he feels like doing. He’s a hard worker, a great provider, a devoted husband and father, and my best friend. He deserves a great day every day, but especially on Father’s Day.
Happy Father’s Day to all of you out there!
One hour of recoil therapy.
My frugal, Chinese wife, who doesn’t like Western food, had a coupon for a free Cheeseburger at a local chain. She took me there.
