Father's Day 2008

Tomorrow is Father's Day and we have a nice day planned. We are going to try to make it all about "Dad", of course. Our plan is to get up early and go for a long bike ride. Nothing like starting our Sunday with a little exercise!

We will try to leave home about 7:30 and be back around 9:30. If we leave early we can avoid the heat and get home early enough that we can still enjoy breakfast. Father's Day needs to have good food, so we will start off with our traditional family special occasion breakfast ,which includes "Wife Saver Breakfast Special, fruit salad and this time we will have Einstein Bagels (Cinnamon Sugar and Jalapeno Cheese). We are going to try adding Mimosas, which we have never had with our meal before but loved them when we had them at Lisa's for Mothers' day. We hope to be home from the ride and sit down to eat about 10:30, at the latest.

After breakfast we will head off to church. They will have something special for Father's day and we won't want to miss feeding our spiritual souls, so that will be a nice part of our day. What will we do after church? What ever the "Father" in our house wants to do. Perhaps a walk on the beach or a trip to the dog park! I guess as long as we are all together it doesn't really matter.

We have a dinner reservation at 5:30 at our fav restaurant. Yes, more eating! You could say in our house every celebration centers around food. It's no wonder that we have "large" waist lines. If everything goes as planned it should be a perfect day.

Two years ago I missed sending my Father his Father's day card. I actually took the time to buy the card, but just never got it in the mail. Sadly, this was my dad's last Father's day. Who knew? Who would have ever thought that he would be gone in less than four months? A Father's Day will never pass without thinking of my ol' Dad... sure do miss you!
