Happy Father's Day to the Da-Da!

(I just realized this was still in my drafts!)

From

Sunday, June 17th...

Happy Father's Day

to my gorgeous husband

who is also a fantastic Daddy!

We had a nice l-o-n-g, relaxing lunch

at our favorite local winery.

We think they basically forgot about us,

never put our order in,

or something.

The day and patio atmosphere was so nice

that we tried to not complain about it.

We were mostly successful

but when you have a four year old

who was on dessert

when we had not even received our entree's,

something needed to be said.

Thank goodness she is used to fine dining!

We actually were celebrating

Father's Day

and

Rachel's successful completion

of her first year of dance and two recitals!
I had some little surprises for them.

So, they both opened their cards and presents...

and still no food arrived for the
Daddy & Mommy.

I had to say something...

had to!

I tried to keep it pleasant

as this is a place we go to often

and we really like it there.

Frank said I had a little "tone".

If that was true

all I can say is

"I was hungry!"

Oh...

and the two glases of wine were

making me dizzy!

Okay,
I'll admit...

I might've had a little "tone".
I was still nice though...

On the upside...

we enjoyed our 2 -3 hour lunch

at the winery and basically

all we paid for was
the appetizer and one entree'!

Yep,

all our wine,

Frank's entree' and our desserts
were taken off the bill!

Nice!

Happy Da-Da's Day!

After our leisurely lunch...
we stopped at the farmer's market

for some fresh fruits and veggies,

to play on the playground,

and

to feed the goats!

Sweet!

I also got to talk to my Dad!

That was quite nice.

It is hard being so far away from everyone,

especially on special occasions.

It would have been so nice having

Dad & Mom join us at the winery

to celebrate the Daddies

and also Rachel's Dance accomplishments:).

I must say I enjoyed the conversation...

"I love you, Dad! And miss you very much!"

"I also love my little family...

Rachel, Sheena,

and their wonderful

Daddy!"
