419 - Happy Fathers Day June 17

Day 419 was a beautiful Father day Sunday! Happy Fathers day to my fantastic Dad and to Papa Carl and to Sheldon!

It was also a nice sleep in day. I got up at around 9:30 while Sheldon enjoyed another sleep in served hot coffee and toast by me closer to 11 when he woke up and read a bit more of his book. I updated the blog before heading outside to expand the lawn mowing area at noon. I also called Britt to wake up and enjoy the day.

Sheldon ventured out to and moved pallets and such around the sidewalk area in preparation for this week's hopeful frame and pour. It was smoking hot and muggy. Shaina arrived home with Tim's for all around 12:30 and then quickly hit her bed again! I managed to roust her and Britt and they both took 2 of the "fat" horses out for a ride but returned by 2 scared of the threatening storm. Sheldon and I worked on the island raking and dumping more dirt and measuring the edges but were chased in when the rain unleashed at 2:30. 3/10 came down fairly fast.

I had a quick shower and started a fire and supper preparations. Britt peeled potatoes while Shaina unloaded the dishwasher. Sheldon worked on a power cord in the garage enjoying a beer with his dogs.The Paetz's came out around 3:30 and we enjoyed beverages and appetizers. Shaina ate quick before 2 other girls arrived and she drove them all to day 2 diploma prep. Kaylin arrived soon after with a cake for supper.

 It was a very nice evening of food and family. After supper we went on a walk before the Paetz's headed home at 8. Kaylin had a wee nap while Sheldon watched golf and read his book while I updated the blog and Britt studied for a test. After Kaylin went home around 9, I unloaded the dishwasher, snapped storm photos and then went to read too. 

Around 9 the craziest storm rolled in, thunder, lightening and rain to the right and sun to the left with wild clouds above.

and at 9:30 it was raining again with the sun still shining. All in all it was a very nice Father's day, hope everyone enjoyed it especially all  you fathers!!

Shaina got home from diploma prep at 10:30 then went to the bar till 2 am!! This child loves being 18, if only she could wait until tests are done.
