Non-Traditional......

For the first time in many years we did not have the entire family here to share a lively Father's Day. Several factors contributed to this change and although it has always been a hectic and exhausting day I missed the kids and the chaos!

After service we spent a relatively quiet day in Gastonia with my dad, Steve, Janice and the little ones as well as Stefanie. My mother prepared an array of treats and we all contributed to the days eats. Mostly just chatted with a few spurts of paddle ball and baseball thrown in. Way too hot for much more (and unfortunately my dad can't handle the air conditioning so it was toasty both indoors and out).

Thanking the Lord for the blessing of a wonderful, Godly husband who has shown himself to be an amazing father and role model to our children and grandchildren.....
