My wife and kids sure know how to make a dad feel special! On Saturday, they told me they would help me with any project that I wanted to get done. They started by vacuuming and cleaning the windows, dash, etc. in my truck. Then, they did some weeding in the garden. We also picked some cherries, with the help of some wonderful friends. A week or so ago the wind blew over my trumpet vine that I usually sit under in the garden in the mornings. A good friend came over to help me pull it back up and secure it. We had to cut it way back because it was so heavy. As with all projects, it was way more involved and time consuming than we thought it would be… While we were doing that, my wife and kids made me a bird bath as a Father’s Day gift. I’ll have to take a picture of it soon and post it. It is really neat. Of course, my girls made me all kinds of artwork for Father’s Day, as well. For breakfast on Sunday, my wife made some awesome baked oatmeal. Then, after church, she made breakfast burritos and pancakes for lunch. She said we only had mozzarella cheese, so I asked what would happen if we put spaghetti sauce with the eggs, ham, and cheese instead of salsa. I couldn’t believe it, but she tried it, and it was some of the best breakfast burritos we have ever had!! The kids liked it, too. After lunch, I was planning to take a nap, but I could tell that was not really what the kids wanted to do.
So, after blogging quickly, we went out to play catch. Later, we went and rented the movie, Nancy Drew, and watched it while we ate nachos from Carlos O’Kelly’s and drank some really good frozen drinks that my wife made. We all enjoyed the movie. I especially enjoyed cuddling with my second daughter because the movie was a little too suspenseful for her. After that, we stayed up a little too late watching the Lakers and Celtics. Just for the record, I don’t watch or even keep up with basketball much. For some reason (I think it’s because of the old days), I’m interested in these finals. Here’s my prediction – unless the Lakers become a lot more disciplined, they will not beat the Celtics at home, especially not twice. They are not making wise choices in their shots and they are playing wildly in the second half of the games I have seen. This surprises me with Phil Jackson being their coach. That is my very unprofessional and uninformed opinion. Take it for what it’s worth.
Anyway, thought some of you would enjoy hearing about our day. May God give you peace and blessings today!
By the way, I have added a picture to the blog titled “Dad’s Who Get It Part 4 – My Hero” that some of you may enjoy.
