FATHER'S DAY CELEBRATIONS

Yesterday was Father's Day and for the first time that I can remember I was not on the highway going to or from a professional meeting on Father's Day for the last 40 years. When I left Nancy's house Saturday morning her daughter, Victoria, handed me a Father's Day card and when I got my mail, I had a very fancy card from my oldest granddaughter,Valerie. My daughter, Kathy, called me from Canada. I was feted at Sunday church services with a gift of a bookmark given to each of the father's from the children during the Children's Sermon. I ate with our congregation at our monthly pot-luck dinner at church, got my nap and drove to Mark's house where I received gifts from Mark and Kathy and from Ashley and Ross. Two new short sleeve shirts from M&K. A Christian book to read and Lady Godiva dark chocolate candy bar from Ash & Ross. Then when I got to Nancy's house she had some weights and a pad for me to exercise on to build up my upper arms.

I have been helping Nancy and she is doing really well. This morning we drove to Firehouse Cafe to have breakfast with her old SS class in Granbury. Then bought some more water hose at Walmart.

In Sunday School we had Ruth last week and appreciated no blood and killings after Judges. Then yesterday we started I Samuel and learned about Samuel's birth and his mother, Hannah's prayer plus the sins of Eli's sons.

I am reading Sarah Palin's GOING ROGUE and Bob Favor's life story of all the weird characters that he had to arrest during his service as a Texas Ranger.
