We spent Saturday up the coast to spend the day with my father; my younger brother lives near him, and my older brother came down from Virginia for a visit... together, the six of us took Dad out for dinner at one of his favorite restaurants. I gotta remember to not order so much to eat; I just don't have the teenager metabolism anymore... that was, after all, three decades back and longer. On the other hand, I'm glad that restaurants serve larger helpings to make the cost of going out worthwhile; conversely, maybe I oughta start telling the server to make my helping a little bit smaller... Anyway, Dad had a great day with all of us together. I'm especially glad he's still around to be honored on Father's Day.

Today Dad-in-law and family are coming to our home, and my Beautiful Young Bride will be preparing one of her specialty meals for our dining pleasure. Also glad Dad-in-law is still around to also be so honored.

Both are, in my mind, great treasures. While I may not be the recipient of today, I'm honored to have them to honor still...

I don't get out here as much anymore, but I'm glad you all still drop by for visits to see what's happening in my part of the Lowcountry. I'm just really busy anymore at work, and when I get home at the end of the day I'm just really exhausted. By thie time Friday rolls around all I want is a stiff drink and peace and quiet. But, that's the nature of new work projects.

So, this morning we're having some biscuits and coffee, the puppy is asleep on her couch (yes, we bought a piece of furniture just for the puppy!), the cat is prowling the house, and we're watching a movie on TV. Great way to enjoy a Sunday morning...
