I had a great Father's Day. Went up to Whidbey Island and spent the weekend with Becky and her family. On Saturday we took a trip to Coupeville, just north of them, and took a walking tour of the tiny downtown. We walked out on the dock and saw a seal, and just took in the scenery. We went home for a dinner of bleu-cheese burgers and ice cream.
Sunday, Becky made a great breakfast with blueberry waffles and a blueberry smoothie. We spent the morning playing together. Then Mike and Becky put out a great lunch of grilled pork skewers with veggies and a tangy sauce. Mike made good use of his Father's Day gift, a new gas grill, very fancy and modern! I got some good books to read, and I'm looking forward to that. The day was topped off by the traditional strawberry-rhubarb pie, always a great way to end a day.
The only difficult part of the weekend was the struggle of their new puppy, Luna, who had been spayed and tore out her stitches and then her staples. Becky had to make 2 emergency runs to Mount Vernon to get the dog treated. She seems to be doing better now, but that's been a challenge for them. They have to keep the dog pretty drugged up to keep her quiet as she needs to be.
