Well even though it was rainy and wet most of the day, it ended up being a very nice Father's Day after all. This morning, I drove into Kansas City to spend the day with my dad. His new place is finally getting fully settled with all his paintings hung on the wall and everything finally in its rightful place. After helping him out with some problems on his computer, we sat on his covered porch, chatted and watched the rain. It was a perfect temperature to sit outside and the rain made a wonderful sound as it fell on the flowers and bushes in his yard.
Later in the afternoon, we drove over to my sister Kathy's house for appetizers and a cookout. The sun peaked out long enough for us to cook hamburgers outside but we ended up having to eat in the house. Due to the rain and the cancellation of baseball games, my sister Marion's family was able to come over and join us for the afternoon and evening. It was a laid back day filled with good food and good conversation. As evening wore on we decided to relax and watch a movie (Alvin and the Chipmunks). After the movie I drove my dad back to his place and then headed back to the monastery. Overall a very nice day!
