Happy Father's Day

Major props for probably my best Father's Day ever. Gran and Jessie (and Sassie and Josh) came to visit. We had a great time. Before they arrived, Sally took me in her arms and said the most romantic thing she has ever said to me. She said "Since it is Father's day we should do something you REALLY want to do. Let's take down the dining room wall!!!" Is there any doubt as to why I love this woman. So, Saturday morning I got Jessie up early and we harvested the garden. She got to pull the first watermelon (more on that later). Then, we went to work! Jessie had such a good time tearing down the wall. She and Sally were great carpenter's helpers. I was was so proud of how hard they worked and so excited to get this project on its way to complete. As a reward, we took Gran and Jessie to see "On Golden Pond" at the Unity Theater.



Sunday was very laid back. I worked on finishing up some loose ends on the wall project. Sally and Jessie got lunch ready for the grill. Sally also finished MAKING PLUM JELLY from the plums off of our tree. I grilled hamburgers, tatume' and corn. Jessie gave me a gift certificat to Lowe's. So she was fully invested in the wall project. She provided capital and labor, thank you very much! Sally gave me an oscillating sprinkler on a stand. This is awesome. It makes it so much easier and better to water the garden. After a fabulous lunch, Sally told me to close my eyes for another surprise. She stuck something very sweet into mouth mouth. It was our watermelon. But that wasn't the surprise. The surprise was the color of the watermelon. It was yellow and it was awesome! What a wonderful way to end a very wonderful weekend.
