Belated Father's Day Wishes

We had a great weekend! TheOther#1Son came home to give both his parents a little special treatment! He was on his way up to Wisconsion on Mother's Day, so this was some belated TLC for me and for his dad, on Father's Day weekend! His additional mother's day treat for me was that he washed and hung his own laundry on the line!!!! He was packin' an extra large laundry basket that overflowed and a large duffle!!! XD
We had fried chicken (he loves chicken legs), mashed potatoes, gravy and corn for supper on Friday evening when he arrived. On Saturday morning he and I made corned beef hash (a father's day tradition), eggs and toast with a side of catalope (it was only fair, needed to be riper) for breakfast. It was a hot day so we spent time in the pool and sitting on the deck under the umbrella consuming cool beverages and talking. I made cold chicken sandwiches for lunch, yummy! :P  For supper TheManWhoHoldsMyHeart grilled steaks (on his new charcoal grill) along with garlic bread,  I made a fresh greens salad (the lettuce was from our garden), mushrooms in garlic butter and red wine to top the steak and I reheated the lefover mashed potatoes! We tried to stay up late but the heat, the swimming and the sun made us crash early.
Sunday morning I made a breakfast sweet treat from puff pastry and cherry pie filling and we ate that out back, on the deck, along with fresh hot coffee! Nice morning! TheOther#1Son had to leave at 11 but didn't get away till noon, he needed to get back to Manhattan to his office to study and plan for this weeks classes. He's in the masters program for mathmatics, with his eye on a doctorate degree!!
TheManWhoHoldsMyHeart also had cards and phone calls from DD and #1Son, both live many, many miles away so their visits will have to wait for future dates. We have the best kids in the whole wide world, I'm so glad they're OURS!
