[The Wife]

Don't know if everyone on here celebrates Father's Day, but we just got done with our Father's Day dinner, for Chris and my dad.

K, our daughter, gave Chris a silver picture frame, with a picture of the two of them on Chris' horse, Mindy, in it. I had a friend of ours build him a table for in bed that will hold a book and a magnifying glass so he can read in bed. We also got him an iPad, but we're still waiting on the stylus to get here.

We got my father an adaptor set for his truck's trailer wiring and spray-painted them all neon orange, because he's notorious for losing them.

Chris is still exhausted from the wedding yesterday, and his mother's visit today (long story), so he's already out. But K, Gampy (my Dad), and G-Ma (my Mom), are eating ranch powdered popcorn and watching The Last Unicorn. Not the most exciting Father's Day, but solid none the less.

So how did you spend Father's Day? Do you even celebrate it?

Nope, don't celebrate it since I never had a father around... The sperm-doner, as we called him, left when I was four and me and my older brother were shifted around from relative to relative while my youngest brother stayed with mother..Had a wonderful grandfather tho...He used to take me coon hunting and we'd sit under a tree half the night, with the moon glowing, him chewing on a plug of "Browns Mule" plug tobbacco, while spinning stories about growing up during the great depression, fine fellow...died in 1975...

Yesterday was a ball of, Father's Day, a niece and nephew's graduation (6th and 8th grade, respectively), and my wife's and my anniversary, all rolled up into one get-together.
We went to a Korean BBQ buffet. The kids are half Korean, so they enjoyed the food they grew up with in the Philippines, that they don't often get here.
Then, back to the house for a swim. Yup, summer vacation started this weekend!
