An Unexpected Fathers Day Treat

With the grands going to be with their dad on Sunday, which is as it should be, it was decided that Fathers Day would be celebrated with grampa on Saturday. We were to go out for breakfast, and then visit our nephew and family at a ball gamer in a nearby town (as previously posted).

Except the old fella was not feeling well, so both were cancelled.

But the kids did drop by later after they had visited at that ball game. And I was feeling somewhat better by then too.



After a good sleep, I was feeling even better on Sunday, so we stopped for coffee and snacks and headed to our favourite spot by the river. And such a beautiful spot it is too.



I was totally surprised when Shauna snuck up behind me, gave me a kiss, and then sat down. We must have hung out for almost an hour and a half before it was time to break up the party.

She made an already pleasant morning so much more enriching. I am so pleased that my ladies pulled off this little unexpected treat.

so glad you got to spend time with your daughter on Father's Day, and that whatever ailed you on Saturday was short-lived. Belated happy father's day!

If you have to sit and recuperate a little, that is certainly one inspiring place.

The Sunday outing at the park looked lovely, especially with loved ones there. And glad you are feeling better from whatever ailed you, AC.

For once your sunshine didn't fill me with envy - we've been having our share of sunshine, too.
Good to see you all looking so happy - a different kind of shine, altogether! ♥

Sitting with your family in the park with a paper bag of something yummy from Timmy's is a wonderful way to celebrate Father's day!
