Today we kidnapped mom from the Skilled Nursing Facility and brought her home for Father’s Day. She was OVERJOYED to be able to get out into the sunshine, fresh air, and among family members. (Ok, we really did not kidnap her….they allowed her to come home for up to 4 hours.)
Of course, if we are eating together, then it must be another barbeque, and Arny did up some more of his delicious ribs. That’s sister Patty over talking to him, and Bubba is doing what Bubba does best, watching and following Arny’s every move.
Mom had a call from my oldest brother Jim and his wife Carol from Texas.
Upper left is Marcia, sisters Patty, Sandy and Donna. Upper right is Donna, Patty’s daughter Ashley, Sandy, and Patty. Bottom is Arny, Dad, Ashley between her grandparents, and the star of the day…mom. Yes, it was Father’s Day, but the best gift for all us Fathers was having mom home for Father’s Day Dinner and a relaxing day.
Sandy and Patty got back from their week trip down south and over to Las Vegas…Sandy had some funny stories about the trip, one of those “you have to be there as she told the story” type of things. She laughed so hard she couldn’t even talk at times…. brought back memories of our childhood when she would do the same....of course, having four brothers egging her on didn't help one bit back then. I heard from each of my kids and I only wish mom could have had all her kids together…perhaps another day soon.
It was a WONDERFUL Father’s Day for all....hope you all had a good day too.
It sounds like you had a wonderful day. Happy Father's Day!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful for your mother. And your father. What a gift you gave him. Looks like a fun time for everyone. Hope she's able to be out of there for good very soon.
