My Father's Day
Sunday, June 17, 2007
My Father's Day was/is fantastic. I say so because I am sitting outside in my backyard typing this message with my family. My wife and two sons are lying in our hammock. The hammock is a gift from my wife. Since we purchased the house, I have been talking about getting a hummock.
We have these two huge trees in our backyard. They create great shade. They also create a bunch of leaves in the fall. All in all, we really enjoy the trees. They are about 12 ft apart, so I always thought they were perfect for a hummock.
Well this morning, my wife wakes me up, irons my cloths, gets the children ready, and takes me to breakfast at Blueberry Hill Pancakes for breakfast. I had strawberry pancakes. They were fantastic. The strawberries were fresh and topped with WHIPPED CREAM!!!! Great way to start the day.
Before we went to the restaurant, entering the garage we allowed the boys to enter the truck through the back. I opened the back of the truck and sitting there were the boxes to my Hummock. I was so surprised. I love surprises. Everyone does, I think.
The day was far from over. We had lunch and a movie. The movie was Invincible with Whalberg. I cannot remember which one, but it was a solid film. I saw it a few nights ago and recommended it to my wife. It is a solid movie, I think the story lacked the punch of blockbuster movies because it was a true story. We already know that Vince Papalie made the team and played for the Philly Eagles. So a lot of the shock and wow factor was taken away. Still, the story is a great one. And the producers did a good job of making it interesting and providing interest throughout.
The Lunch was were the real excitement. Krystal made a wonderful Chicken and Shrimp Salad. OOOOhhhhhwwweeee, this was a good salad. You want the details, don't you? Ok, here goes; there were jalapenos, tomatoes, cucumbers, and more. I don't know what was all in that salad. Maybe she will post the ingredients on day. She acts funny with her secrets, but she can cook, so I don't push. Great Salad, topped off with a glass of Mascoto and two biscuits. These were not normal biscuits, but great ones. There were light and fluffy, just melted in your mouth. And the wine, Mascato is the best. If you haven't tried it, give it a shot. I am not much of a wine drinker, I prefer beer, but is good wine in my humble opinion.
I finished reading Copywriting Handbook by Joe Sugarman and relaxed in the comfort of my new hammock with my oldest son, who helped me build the hammock. It was simple, but not attached to those trees I spoke of earlier. It is a free standing hammock in the northwest corner of our property, near the shed, and under the shade tree. Perfect.
Thought must be possibility because I know I have dreamt of this before.
Hope your fathers day was as great as mine. You deserve it!
