Happy Father’s Day

Sunday...I woke up and French toast is waiting for me...nice...I wonder why everyone is being so nice...

Sunday...I woke up and French toast is waiting for me...nice...I wonder why everyone is being so nice...

I leisurely enjoyed the French toast and the we started talking about what to do during the day... then kids meandered off subject and suggested that we watch a video...

In previous posts, I have complained how we have lost something in the flurry of email that we blast to one another as we try to “communicate,” but the next generation has obviously found a way to make our communication even richer! Nothing has been lost. Quite the contrary...

But I digress...who cares how well my kids can design tear jerking videos...

CRAP!!! I have a big problem!

It’s Father’s Day!!! I forgot all about it!!!

I was planning on sending my dad something earlier in the week...OMG!

What to do? What to do!!!

I have just a few minutes before I have to drag everyone up the mountain on my Father’s Day hike...

Well, his latest obsession has been his chickens...yes!!!

I mean obsessed...in a good way though. He built a large, portable chicken coop...complete with thermo-pane glass and retractable walkway! Now he is raising six chicks so he and my mom can have fresh eggs...

So, guess what I got him?

Yep...a rooster! A Black Jersey Giant! To help keep the girls happy...

I know it’s nutty, but it works...really it does...I know my dad well.

The funny thing is, I couldn’t think of anything for the last few weeks. I seriously did not know what to get him, but nothing like a little pressure to get the creative juices flowing!

Whew!

Don’t worry...he will grow fast!

Happy Father’s Day!
