Father's Day

For Father's Day, R thought he would like to go for a bike ride with The Heiress. It was the wee hours of the morning when she got in but that didn't stop R from going into her room quite early and announcing his plans. The Heiress is a good sport and within half an hour she was ready to go. Off they went with their bikes on the back of the van for an afternoon of touring the boardwalk. I plugged in the kettle, gathered some reading material and had a blissful afternoon under the pergola. Best of all, the Dad's in the neighbourhood were taking a day off from the lawn mowers, leaf blowers and weed whackers so it was fairly quiet. Hooray!

  1. Being a mother on Father's Day isn't all bad...especially in this case!

    I'm looking forward to your thoughts on it although I really do need to read it myself.

  4. JoAnn, And R still cooked dinner as it was a BBQ!

    verity, I wish every day could be like this.

    Paperback Reader, Streatfeild is keeping me on my toes, events take place in the blink of an eye. Yesterday, I had to go back a page or two because I couldn't believe what had just happened.

  6. Danielle, It's such a nice spot to sit on a hot, sunny day. I can picture it having some billowy curtains hanging down the sides one of these days. Very Victoria magazine!
