Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out in the blogasphere. Last night Connor helped his Dad cook steaks on the grill, corn on the cob, julienne potatoes and I put together a big salad for his Father's Day meal. Connor and I were willing to take him out for dinner both last night and tonight, but Fred wanted to cook at home last night.

Of course, I hate to cook, but Connor volunteered to learn how to grill a steak, so I said I would do all the cleanup. We dined al fresca on our deck which was lovely because the weather was gorgeous. Here's a few photos from the dinner




Today, Fred and Connor went to see "The Incredible Hulk". I decided to let them have some father/son time and stayed home to color the gray out of my hair.

Connor and I played a trick on Fred today. I told Fred late last night that I was going to make a penne pasta casserole with turkey italian sausage, mushrooms and onions for dinner tonight. Fred is NOT a big fan of any other type of pasta but spaghetti so the penne pasta casserole was not going over very well with him and as soon as he got up today, he started growling about it. Little did he know that it was a ploy. The real plan was to surprise him with a dinner at El Azteca, his favorite Mexican restaurant in Pleasant Hill.....he got a big chuckle once we told him that the joke was on him.

After dinner we drove around and looked at some house. I've got a bee in my bonnet about moving into a ranch style house. We're not getting any younger and I'm wanting the majority of everything on one level. We saw a couple we liked so Fred is going to make some phone calls tomorrow....I'll keep you posted.

Tomorrow brings work......my last week before vacation. 10 glorious days.
