Father's Day

This year's Father's Day was difficult for me.  My dad is still not home following his February 17th surgery and is currently in a rehab facility/nursing home.  It smells bad and the food is terrible.  He is slightly depressed (maybe even more than slightly) and not improving as fast as we had hoped.  As a family, we all went down to see him and took strawberry shortcake as a treat.  The children ran around outside in the rain (wettest and lowest high for June 19th on record) while the adults hung out on the patio under cover.

We are fervently praying for Grandpa De's recovery.  Dad always adds humor and interest to our family gatherings and he has been sorely missed.  We want him home and up and doing.

We had ice cream sandwiches for the children.
Blythe wore hers well.

She liked it!
