Dson called his Ddad, too. They talked awhile, had a good talk, it was wonderful & Dson/Ddil usually give DH his gift/card later. They're busy with a family of 9.
The weather stayed dry today, for DD's travels. I'm reading, getting ready to eat salads for dinner, DH is running the DW and I'll s2s later, after the DW's done washing.
Will rise early tomorrow, so DH & his dbuddy can get firewood, IF it's not raining. It's possible we'll have showers, but so far, it mostly looks like up North in the a.m.
Not us. I hung a straw hat with dried flowers on it and raffia on it, above the erasable magnet board above the laundry basket in the utility room. On Mother's Day, the clock hanging there, fell loud, broke the glass, so I had a bare nail and hook. It was driving me nuts, to look at it, didn't know what to put there, but it hit me
how when I WEAR that hat, the bees fly around me a lot, which I don't like! Being on the wall in the utility room is a good place for it. It's so cute up there and can be seen through the window from the street, too. 
Kitty cat had quite a nap, since I'd gotten up at 5:30 a.m., because she got up with me to cuddle in the chair during QT. She's so sweet.
I hope all the fathers, uncles, granddads, brothers, sons and men with kids had a Happy Father's Day!
and perhaps more when it is to honor someone besides myself. I think this time it bothered me because it was dstepdil and dstepgd who had made plans and "let's surprise Grandpa" arrangements, and they may have felt HRH didn't notice enough. I need to get over it!
as dstepfil slips further into dementia and Parkinson's disease. We enjoyed our time together yesterday on a "good" day for him, but today has been a struggle for him. She feels so alone. She says that today for the holiday all he got was one phone call, and that from the son who has been sick himself. The (4 ?) others do not visit or call him. She is hoping he will forget that it was Father's Day since he heard almost nothing from his children. 
She called HRH's sister at work and whispered to her to call, so there would be one more little diversion for him.
