I was lucky enough to have a super day.

My daughter, who is 19, visited with her new boyfriend. He seemed like a straight up dude (which I like). He is a 4th generation farmer's son. They raise cattle in Virginia on a 290 acre farm.

The kid actually approached me and introduced himself as he shook my hand. I swear my daughter gives her beaus the heads-up on how to act. He gave me about 5 pounds of hamburger and a dozen fresh eggs. Both of which are from his farm and from what his family eats and does not sell.

He is a far cry from her normal boyfriends.

When they left there were 2 back-to-back Cold Cases on tv. My love practically fell asleep in front of me (so cute to watch I might add). I held off on the beers and wine so I didn't miss anything (well drank slower).

And here I is! What a perfect day.... :loveya:

Who is still up? hehe

:hi:

:hi:

Well, it is 8.30am here and I am already at work. Decided to show up earlier again to get some stuff done and so that I don't need to sit here till 6pm.

My weekend was really nice too. Met with neweurope. We had a BBQ at her place and I had the chance to bake another cake. It was yummy :)

Here is a pic of a piece of the cake

:hi:

Glad you popped in hehe! That's cool you met with a DUer!

Do you guys have Father's Day over there? Just curious.

I want me some of that cake :D

:hi:

but in my family it gets as much celebrated as Mother's Day .... say not at all :rofl:

My dad died 6 years ago, so unfortunately there is no reason to celebrate that day ....


Most of the cake I left with neweurope. You have to ask her to give you a piece :D

So I'll wait for the cake :D

My dad passed some time ago as well. I guess I've been assimulated in the sense that on this day I think a lot about him.

:)

So, we had balls, BBQ, and beer in the park today.. Cops not showing up was a bonus, and rare.

That was my day.. Now I will drink and dork around on the tubes.

that sounds really cool

Drinkin' and dorkin' :P

:hi:

I'm still up!

It's going on 11:40PM here....

And I'm happy you had such a nice time with your daughter and her new boyfriend...

I'm jazzed because my pic thread has soooo many nice comments!

:hug:

:hi:

brb!

How is Ms. Peggy this fine eve?

I hope you had no doubts your pics would be a hit. I, for one, always looked forward to them.

In fact, I saw you getting all kinds of hellos the first day I got on DU. A day or so later you posted some pics, and I was hooked!

:thumbsup:

I am very good tonight, thanks!

It always makes me so happy when all of you pile into my pic threads and have nice things to say...

Or even critical things....for I know I have much to learn....

Glad you're hooked, sweetie!

BTW, I always put my pic threads in my journal.....just so you know... :hug:

with journals. I see buttons to click and always hesitate. :D

I'd be mad if someone read my journals hehe

:hug:

i had lots of 'dad time' today, including just the two of us in a car for a couple of hours (and helping move a few couches).

had lotsa sushi with dad and my seester and am now just winding down for the night with some red wine.

and that boyfriend sounds like a good kid :)

That is exactly what I am doing, winding down with red wine.

My dad drove a truck so I know how those car rides can be on certain days. It sounded like fun.

Well, I still have to watch on the boy. Daughter may have went from outright no-goods to ones you can't tell, hehe. Naw, I got a real good vibe off of him. He got along with my dogs.. thats a sure sign.

:)

that's part of being dad, right? but getting along with the dogs...that is a good sign :)

The "farmer" came out lol..

"HeYah! Go On Boy! HeYAH!".. was how he set the boundary at first.

:rofl:

unfortunately, i have no idea how to do that (i don't have much experience with dogs) :rofl:

oh, and happy dad's day :)

hmm.. doh, and a liver!

Thanks for the dad's day happiness.

:D
