I really love my Dad

We went to a cookout yesterday at my parents house. The occasion (as if we need one) was my youngest brother Craig's birthday and Fathers Day (a day early). My father and I have developed a strong silent bond over the past couple of years. I never really had a "relationship" with my father growing up or in my 20's because I was an absolute island of myself. I LOVE growing up!!! Maturity is not to be balked!! Okay, some are granted this maturity at about 18 years old, I acquired it at about 33.......... so what. I gave my dad his birthday card and gift, he loved them both, gave me a huge hug and said, "Lis, you are such a good girl". I don't care how old you are, that feels fantastic!


The family had a great time. The food was fabulous and the company, even better. All of the kids went to the lake (walking distance from my parents home) and went swimming after supper. I stayed back and talked to my grandma.


Today Danny and Will are going to church with Chris in honor of Father's Day. Chris and I are in "friend mode" so I will probably be going to Trinity. If you are wondering what "friend mode" is, that is when my husband and I make polite conversation when necessary and do not sleep in the same bed.


In other news, I made sauce using some nice fresh herbs from my garden. It was outstanding!

The veggies are growing steadily, although I seem to have a slug/insect problem. The leaves on most of my plants look like Swiss cheese. I may have to take an ivory soap/water solution and spray everything. Stupid bugs....... Nothing is worse than the Tomato Horn Worms. I had them a few years ago and they are the most hideous, disgusting, yuckyuckyuckyuck siver shiver ewwww bug I have EVER laid my eyes on!

Dang that's gross
