Happy Father's Day

Happy Father’s Day! Bob had a great Father’s day. It started out that he slept in till almost noon. I got him up and out on the exercise bike. We put in Dick Tracy and Rob sat on the couch while his father peddled. They watched the serial together and talked about the actors, the old cars, and the show. It was a nice time for father and son to spend a few hours.

That afternoon Pat and Tina came by for a visit. Pat’s Mother, Matti, had made a quilt for Bob. It is a beautiful piece of art. The workmanship in this quilt is beyond words. It truly was a labor of love. Bob opened it and we put it on his bed. He didn’t leave it there though. When it was time for bed he carefully folded it and laid it aside so nothing would happen to it. I put it in one of his drawers for safe keeping. I am thinking about getting a quilt hanger to display it in his room. That way he will get to enjoy it year round.

After the gifts were given we all went outside and sat by the lake to talk. Bob came outside on his own, to sit with us. It was nice having him there. We talked about anything and everything. Johnny and his family showed up to do some fishing and we sat and watched his family row around the lake pulling in fish after fish. I guess we watched them pull in about fifteen all together. They didn’t keep any of them, they threw them all back. Each time they threw one back I yelled, “That one was big enough for my frying pan! Don’t throw that one back in the lake.”

Around eight that evening Pat and Tina took off and it wasn’t too much latter that Johnny and his family left also. Bob had a great time watching the guys fish and visiting with his son and daughter. I can’t think of a better way to spend Father’s day.

I hope the rest of the Father’s out there got to spend some time with your children or at least got the hear from a few of them. Give him a shout this week and ask him about fishing.
