Father’s Day Smiles

I am so thankful for Grampy, David, Patrick, Dathan and Ernie.

I did not have a good father when I was growing up ….. he ran off and left my mom and me…but these 5 good men are excellent husbands and fathers.

I wish them… and all of the good fathers everywhere a Happy Father’s Day.

 

John got gypped missed out on having a nice Father’s Day Breakfast because I didn’t feel good enough to get up and make him one before he left for church.

He said he was happy to have cold cereal and a banana…. what a fibber good guy.

Sil’s husband is on a business trip so she’s come to spend a few days with us. She made us a short rib lunch that made up for the lack of breakfast. I didn’t get a picture but it was a Father’s Day worthy meal.

We headed out to Mindy and Ernie’s for our traditional Father’s Day dinner where Grampy was greeted with a Welcome sign and hugs from Claire and Mindy.

Our dinner started out with smoked salmon appetizers….

Followed by Miso Soup….

 

 

 

 

…Tempura … and Ernie and Grampy’s favorite food….

Sushi!!!

Mindy took a Sushi making class a few years ago. It is a lot of work but she makes it each Father’s Day for the 2 favorite men in her life. (Actually I should say for the 3 favorite men in her life because EJ loves Sushi too.)

Sil joined us for dinner and we all agreed that Mindy is quite a Sushi chef.  The meal she made us would rival the best Japanese restaurant!!

 

Grampy got calls from each of our out of state kids…. then the entertainment began.

EJ played a special piece for us and Claire sang us the new song in German that she is working on.

The kids presented Grampy and their dad with special cards they had made for them…. and then came the final touch….

Home made “To die for” chocolate cake.

Ernie and Grampy were ecstatic.

We were glad that the guys saved some cake for us to enjoy too.

I am thankful for my husband, my son and my 3 sons-in-law.

I am thankful that they are such good men who love God and their families.

I am thankful that Mindy and Sil made them such good food today  to celebrate this special occasion.

I was sorry that I could not do anything to help but I was smiling all day that these dear men were well taken care of.

I hope that all of you had a special day. Let me know what you did to celebrate.

I hope you have a great week.

Hugs, Lura

p.s. After they took a CTscan at the time of the accident, I was told I had an enlarged ovary that needed to be seen about. This has worried me every since then. I am going to the doctor to check on it tomorrow. I dread that appointment but I am anxious at the same time. I hope it turns out OK. Wish me well.
