Daddy and Me - Big Bear 1940

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads!!

Today the main event is that Tom and Joanne are coming to dinner so I'm working toward that. They should be here maybe about 4 p.m. or so. Will have rib steak, onion roasted potatoes, corn on the cob, salad, maybe bread of some kind, maybe not. All yummy, and not too much work. Joe asked for rhubarb pie, so I will make that from the rhubarb Dan brought from his garden from a recipe from one of my ranching neighbor ladies.

In between will try to work a little more on the flower potting project. It doesn't seem to be getting done very fast. And interestingly, the temperatures are still down below 35 degrees every night. Today is chilly, overcast and downright windy. The hay is getting a little taller with the warmer days. Joe mowed the front yard this morning while it was still nice. He's out working in his shop.

Reduced my email box again this morning and called Charm to visit. I was SO SORRY to hear how sick they are. Hopefully you will be feeling better really soon. What a bummer! Betty also called this afternoon and we had a great visit. Its been 112 in Mesquite, too hot for June. Amigo seems to be feeling fine too, so that is good.

Joe's father's day gift from the family apparently came on Wednesday and wouldn't fit in the mailbox so our mail lady left it on the ground (and there are cows out there). Although he's usually good about going right out, Joe didn't go out and get the mail that day. So it was still sitting there when she came back on Friday and she couldn't get us on the phone since we were gone to town so she took it back to the PO and we have to pick it up from there, not sure when that will be. Now the PO ladies are worried about us, but it was just the way it happened. Some days we don't go out there and get the mail and that was one. I never even thought about it because that's one of his chores. That's the day I was finishing the portrait. I'll call and ask them to bring it back in the morning.
