Father's Day Observed

The official Father's Day isn't until tomorrow, but our observances are already done. Sue took me out for coffee and a blueberry scone on Wednesday and to Generations on the Lake for brunch on Thursday  

I don't have a picture of us on the scone morning, but I did capture a photo of the lady at the far table engrossed in her book. I do like an interesting candid photo.


We did photograph our own likenesses at the  Generations brunch, which is a nice spot for dining out. I tried to get quite a bit of the grounds in the photo of Sue.

That is Mississippi Lake beyond, which later condenses into a narrow river as it flows through our town.

Et moi, wondering from where and whence came all of the wrinkles.


We did the pretty standard pizza and gift celly at Sha's last evening, leaving the kids free to honour their dad tomorrow. We missed Danica who got stuck at work, but I will see her on Monday to drive her to work, and she has promised to drop by for more of a chat someday soon.

Great idea: a chair-side table with power and USB outlets 

This morning

  1. I'm not showing my husband that table, because he'll want one. We have enough tables to stock a furniture showroom. Good idea, though!

  2. I like the idea of an early Father's Day. Makes sense so the kids can be with Dad too. That restaurant has a fantastic view!

  7. That’s wonderful! I bet that lady at the window would love this photo. Any time to celebrate a Dad is a good time. That’s a great place to enjoy a coffee and a blueberry scone, nice and bright and airy. Lovely photos of you both. Happy Father’s Day!

  11. Lovely photos. I don't see an increase in your wrinkles, but if you think so, you know you got them from raising kids and grandkids! Your table is dandy. Linda in Kansas
