Sometimes I surprise even myself. On Fathers day weekend I had a plan...I had plans, I should say, and since my parents had been down visiting the weekend before so I decided I would stay put in LA for the weekend. Turns out by Friday I realized that my Dad really wanted me to come home...so after debating with myself I decided I would stick with my original plans for Friday and Saturday and then surprise my Dad by driving up to Paso or the day Sunday. I went to bed on Saturday night thinking....Lord if you really want me to go home for Fathers day...bless me to wake up before my alarm goes off so I can make home by a decent hour.
Well I woke up at 6:15 and decided it must be a sign. I got up and was on the road by 6:45am. I arrived at my parents house around 9:45 and surprised my Dad who was overwhelmed with joy. :) I got to spend the morning handing out with my family
After church we had a family BBQ. Wonderful food plus dessert. :) Before I knew I was coming home I ordered a cold-stone cake for my Dad. Chocolate cake with coconut and sweet cream ice cream in the middle. My Dad loves coconut.
Here's the close up so you can see what it said. I had to accept that nobody can compete with my always sweet and practically perfect in every way little sister Callie. So I've accepted my place as number 2 favorite daughter. If I had known I was going to make the quick trip home...I would have had them write " Happy Fathers Day from your # 1 for the day Daughter." Next
time. :) I'm so lucky to be the daughter of this great Man who had taught me by example how a man should treat his family.
