Father's Day

We spent Father's Day in Dixon with our daughter-in-law, Tara, grandson, Khale, and Tara's parents, Stan and Becky. We had lunch at the Senior Center. They have a Hog Roast a couple times a year in order to raise money for their Meals on Wheels program. Let me tell you, that was the best hog I ever tasted! And the rest of the food wasn't bad, either.

Khale gave Grandpa Fran and Grandpa Stan each a card with a special fill-in-the-blank note he had completed at school. The last line is: "My Grandfather is as handsome as..." and Khale completed the sentence with "the handsomest man on earth." Fran was feeling pretty good about himself until he read the same line on Grandpa Stan's card. His read: "My Grandfather is as handsome as...God himself!" How do you top that? Score one for Stan!

Coco, the miniature pinscher in the photo above, had a near-death experience recently. She wandered out into the highway in front of Tara's house and four cars passed over her before someone could stop and scoop her up from the highway. (Good thing she only remembered the first two points of the "stop, drop and roll" fire safety commands.) Tara and Khale rushed her to the vet's and they observed her for a few days for swelling, since she took a blow to her head. It was during the time when she was back home and, shall we say, a little medicated, that Tara painted her nails.

Anyway, it was a great day. Thanks, Tara and Khale, for always making us smile!
