Oops!

Darn, forgot to post yesterday! Ah, well, it was for a good cause. It was father-daughter time. My mom had class reunion festivities to attend starting Friday, so me and the pops got to hang out. My dad's a pretty quiet guy, a gentle soul, who has a really wonderful and dry sense of humor. His one-liners are like gold -- the kind that keep you chuckling for awhile.

We spent Friday evening with Kirk and Kathy, my brother and sister-in-law. Met them at Old Bag of Nails in Old Hilliard then we all hung out on my patio for awhile.

Me and my dad, July 2011, Fort Myers Beach.

Saturday morning we did some chores. My dad is really, really, reallllllly, good about doing the little maintenance things that keep a house and yard in good shape. Me, I have no discipline on that score, so this was good for me. Then it was time to "play." We ran errands together that included him helping me pick out a new vacuum. Such excitement by me over a new home appliance! Mr. Bill (as we sometimes call him) had been hankering for Skyline, so we stopped there for lunch. It was one of the best meals I'd had in a long time and I'm talking beyond the menu. He picked up the tab, but the treat was all mine.

Some more running around occurred before we heading back home. Caught the Belmont, fixed ourselves some dinner and enjoyed watching a Ch. 10 special from the Wilds with Jack Hanna. My mom arrived home before dark and our little pack settled in for the night.

Father's Day came early for me and I enjoyed every minute to its fullest.
