Awake: 6:22am     Temp 66      sleep 6+05     sunny     overnight @ Nicktown.

Mid morning, Katrina called to wish me a: "Happy Father's Day." She was "on the road again" going to a class on: "How to be a better Teacher."

She takes these classes seriously because they add points to her teaching career & that means added knowledge & eventually $$$. We discussed the wedding in Ohio she will be attending & afterward, a visit with the Foote family & us as well in PA.

Early afternoon, K & I motored to the Foote Castle where I was again, honored with a "Happy Father's Day" from Melissa & Kevin. I wished Kevin the same. Why even the Foote boys each had a homemade card to give me on this special occasion. This was a good day for us fathers.

 After that act of kindness, Matthew lured me up to the 3rd floor to see the latest electric vehicle he & Kevin manufactured from the small Legos; battery powered with lights on the top. Very good father & son work. DSC09587.JPG While Kevin was making our special father's day dinner, the boys were off doing some spiffy dressing for the occasion. Aren't these boys cute! DSC09590.JPG Dinner @ 4:00pm: Kevin's famous grilled French fries, hamburgers (some with cheese inside), hotdogs, & a fruit salad made by Kathy.

Melissa also made sure each of us had a fantastic peanut butter/chocolate smoothie.

After the meal, we all went outside to the back yard & simply enjoyed the sunny day for awhile; watched the kids play in the ally & watched Matthew ride his Razor mini bike; picked some raspberries, & observed Kevin exercising with weights. DSC09593.JPG Andrew & Nathan were so impressed with their dad's strength, they begged for another lift. Just look @ those smiles! DSC09592.JPG Look @ me daddy, I can hang by one hand....says Nathan. Next, another treat for Father's Day: (3) different choices of ice cream! Wow! I chose butter pecan in the lower cone & triple chocolate on top. Gosh, it was good! DSC09597.JPG Andrew took his time & his cone lasted the longest.

When it was time to leave, we thanked Melissa, Kevin & the boys for another swell visit with all the extras making it for me, especially, a wonderful Father's day gift. .

Mid evening, Zack Skyped us; after a HFD wish, we talked about anything & everything; 1 hr 32 min. During the last 15 min, Nick called from Boston & gave a HFD wish also; he had just landed & couldn't talk long as his boss was getting ready to get a car & hotel for the night, but he did tip me off that both he & Zack had called earlier & left a funny message on our cell phone.

After saying goodbye to Zack, I listened to the recorded cell phone message from both Nick & Zack; yes, you made us laugh nearly as much as you were laughing. Thanks guys. And to you Nick, a "Happy Father's Day" as well.

Lights out: 12:17am.
