A wonderful Father's Day!!!

Our weekend began by getting up and trying to remember everything we wanted to take to eastern Kansas. We loaded up and headed to Fredonia to see Grandpa and Bernie and arrived around Noon. I had made a roast, and stopped at Dillon's in Wellington to pick up a couple of salads. I fixed a cool whip pie that Theresa gave me the recipe for that is so easy but so good, too. They really loved it! We took Grandpa to see Vince cutting wheat south of the house and then on over to see Uncle Kenneth. He is so funny and is 91 years old. He is homebound, so really enjoys the company. Grandpa opened his father's day gifts which included a cd player and audio books, plus a book on The Pacific in WWII. Then we loaded up and left by 4:00 p.m.

We arrived in Mulvane where Eric had been smoking some ribs and brisket. My favorite was definitely the ribs. YUM YUM!! Theresa was moving her Mom in Derby, so we played with all the kids before we turned in. Was a long day!! More like a long week!!

The next morning, Bruce and Eric left with Kelton and cousin Brendon to go shoot sporting clays at Belle Plaine. Eric took some pictures and were really good. The cutest was Kelton shooting sporting clays with his bb gun. :) Anyway, I played with Konnor and Katie while Theresa was resting. (had some sort of virus) Had a lot of fun and then headed back to the Ponderosa around 3 or 4. Hope everyone had a great Father's Day. Bruce loved his key chain and has yet to decide where he is going to put his treasure.

Sorry I didn't have one of Papa - it didn't turn out very good! Oh well!!



Next week, we head north to Minnesota for a little break. Usually we celebrate the 4th with E and T but this year will be in the north country.... A time for us all to be thankful for all of our freedoms and our beautiful families and friends. We are praying for cooler weather and time to relax a bit before coming home to more roofing and guttering jobs!
Have a Happy Independence Day!!
