Great Father's Day Weekend

It was a good Father's Day for me again. Praise God I still had Dad for another year. Although I wasn't able to see him till late Sunday afternoon. I sorta made up for it, cause I visited with him until almost 10:30pm. I don't usually do that cause I know they both tire quickly, but we all seemed to be enjoying the conversation. He loves when we start asking him about family members and about his younger years. His face just lights up.

J.G. wasn't able to make it down. But, that's ok. If you get a chance, you might want to log on to his blog site. He wrote his Dad a very sincere note for him, which made Dad get teary eyed. Hey nothing wrong with that, we get older and it takes a lot of strength to hold back tears.

Cindy invited him to go over and she bar-b-qued for him. Boy, howdy, can that girl Q. ! ! She wanted him there by 1:00pm. If you don't know Cindy that well, when she sets a time, we know to make it there by then. We walked in about 1:30, ( Dad seems to always get side tracked at all the car lots, even though we actually aren't shopping for a car). She didn't say anything about us being late, I guess she held back what with it being Father's Day! !

We all enjoyed the great meal. Really enjoyed the three kiddos. They're so much fun. I had to play with all of them, Barbies, cops, water guns, etc.. I was very proud of myself, seems I haven't forgotten how to comb Barbie and dress her up! Dad played it smart. He went on to Academy, so he wasn't forced into playing for almost an hour or so.
I hadn't bought Dad a gift since we were going in to Abilene, so I asked Dad if he wouldn't go for me, ( he loves to SHOP!). I had set my mind on getting my Dad a pair of Crocs for his Father's Day gift. Dad asked if I had a limit on how much I wanted to spend on the Crocs, I said, " hell no, Daddy's getting old so I'm going all out this year. Make it $5, hey wait a minute! make it $6, I really feel like doing some really serious damage this year!) What the hell, we're not gonna have around for ever, right?
