WHEW. IT'S OVER! WENT TO MY DAUGHTER'S HOUSE FOR THE WEEKEND. HER HUSBAND WAS IN CALIFORNIA, SO WE DECIDED TO SPEND THE NIGHT. (NOT BECAUSE WE DON'T LIKE HIM). HAD A TIME GREAT WITH THE GRANDKIDS (2 & 6) AND THE FOOD WAS WONDERFUL.

THERE IS NOW A 3 MONTH OLD COCKER SPANIEL AS PART OF THE FAMILY. HE LOVES ME, SO GUESS WHO HE STAYED WITH MOST OF THE TIME? YUP, ME.

THE SOFA BED ISN'T THE EASIEST THING FOR ME TO SLEEP ON, SO I SLEPT FROM 11-2, 3-4:30, AND THAT'S IT. THE DOG HAD DIAHRREA, NEED I SAY MORE?

AFTER A HEARTY BREAKFAST, WE PLAYED WITH THE KIDS, THEN HEADED HOME. WE WENT TO OAK PARK, ILLINOIS ON THE WAY HOME AND TOURED THE FRANK LLOYD HOME AREA. VERY INTERESTING. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL OUT, WE ATE OUTSIDE AT A GREEK RESTAURANT . PERFECT. THEN A SLOW RIDE THROUGH DOWNTOWN CHICAGO,AND HOME THE TRAFFIC SUCKED AND I DROVE.

AT 8PM, I WAS IN BED, SOUND ASLEEP. NOW I'M UP FOR MY USUAL BREAK, STILL TIRED. BUT EVERYBODY, INCLUDING MY SON IN FLORIDA MADE FATHER'S DAY REALLY SPECIAL. SO WHY COMPLAIN?

OK, BACK TO BED
