Happy Father's Day 2013

I said to Jerry this morning, after I poured his coffee and warmed up some tasty spinach-feta muffins, "Isn't it odd that we don't have Dad's to do Father's Day for anymore?"  We celebrate their memory and pray for them in church but now we celebrate Jerry and Jake and the younger Dads. It just re.ally feels different! So now, back to the celebrating! Super Dad Jake went to work to support his daughter, spending 6am-2pm hauling garbage and weed whipping at Kensington Metro Park. Super Dad Jerry took the girls to the boxing club at 12noon. Jer and I finally finished off the pile of mulch we had delivered a couple of weeks ago, and man does the yard look nice.  Then we all headed out to Bagger Daves in downtown Brighton for an early Father's Day dinner. The food was fine, fries fresh and hot, sweet potato chips came with a tasty sauce and we got to sit on the patio, which was fun. We followed up the meal with a walk around downtown. Cassie loved seeing the nine baby ducklings sitting with their Mother and going on the playground. Seeing Jake sliding down the slide with her in his arms made my heart swell. GOD is good, last year he spent his first Father's Day in Afghanistan and now he is safe and sound and sharing it with his Dad and his daughter. So a Happy Father's Day to everyone!
