Father's Day 2015 without the kids at McMenamins in WilsonvilleLorena and I planned to work out this evening. We walked to breakfast, walked to lunch and we planned to go to the gym and work out before dinner, but we just did not have it in us. Instead, we ran across the parking lot to McMenamins and split an aboslutely fabulous hamburger and some ancho chicken chile soup. We completely blew our diet, but it was absolutely worth it. This is the first Father’s Day in a long time when we have been without the kids. In addition, we have Grandpa Milo duty (Alzheimer’s stuff for all those who have dealt with it and understand) tomorrow for our church meeting and dinner afterward.

I have to say Lorena and I had a great time. Christian is down in Tempe studying his fanny off. Kelly is up in Vernon, British Columbia hanging out with a boat load of young people when she really should be studying her fanny off, but we approve. She needs to be doing that kind of thing and Christian really should be doing that kind of thing, too. It was a great evening that I hope to remember for a long, long time even though my Dad’s memory problems makes me realize that memories are things we should cherish, not only because they are good memories, but a gift from a loving God.
