Celebrated an early Fathers Day with # 2 son yesterday for a few hours. Took a meal over so they did not have to cook. Their new house is really nice. Looks good from the outside as well as the inside. So much room. Not too much but it is spacious and will hold all those people. They have a very nice yard too. I love the neighborhood. The kids school is literally right behind their back yard with the middle and high schools just a couple blocks away. There is a beautiful big park just a block from their house. It has 2 baseball fields, a basketball field, playground part and a nice little pond with a jogging path,bike trail around it and wildlife in the pond. Trees all around so you could just sit and veg out very easily. We were over there playing baseball with the kids for a while. It was too hot to do it for very long though. I did not want to overstay our welcome the first time so we weren't there all day or anything but it was nice.
Jenny goes to school 4 days a week and then has homework on the weekends and they have to do all the running around on weekends as well. With one car it makes it hard. She takes Scott to work, comes home, gets the kids off to school and heads to school herself. Then on her break she picks Scott up from his job, he drops her back at the school and he has the car for a couple more hours to take the kids to their various activities and then picks her up at 9 p.m. when she is out of school. Makes for a full day every day.
When we got home we cooled off for a while and then messed around my back yard. It was just too hot to do much of the mowing but Brennan started while I used the weed whip. Had some supper and then went down to the millpond to do some fishing. The fish were in there. We could see them going after bugs but they sure didn't do much more then nibble at our lines. Finally we said the heck with it and pulled in the lines. Went over to the video store to rent a movie. Turns out it was on sale for $8 so I got it for Brennan instead of renting it. "Paul Blart". It was not something I was interested in so while he was watching it here last night I was catching up on some magazines.
In a few minutes I have to get him up for church. Thought about just skipping it but they have a big Fathers Day Bake Sale going on after the service and we sorta wanted do do that for his Uncle Scotty. After I take him home I have to sit down and write a letter of recommendation for a friend who is applying for a job.
