Father’s Day

I had a wonderful Fathers’ Day weekend with Alex and Nathaniel. Yesterday we took a great seven mile walk around the neighborhood, reminding me of the afternoon walks we took in Vienna.

Today we started the day with the pancakes my father taught me to make and ended the day with the schnitzel my grandmother taught me to make. Favorite foods. Since Mary is out of town, Nathaniel is sleeping upstairs with me. How nice is that for Father’s Day!

I am ending this Fathers’ Day listening to a wonderful sermon by Barack Obama about the need for fathers in our childrens’ lives.

We are blessed many times over with our gifts. Give thanks, get up, go forth!
