Father’s Day

Posted on by under Holidays

Sunday was Father’s day. My parents came over and it was a warm sunny day! I was happy it was nice out we could sit outside. Jeff made bacon burgers and brownies. It was so yummy! We gave dad a gift card to Menards since he is planning on building things for their home.

What I am really impressed is Tex. He didn’t bark at them like he usually does! He was adulting! At first he was a little timid but then it was a flurry of kisses! Lol! He really likes my dad. Kept going over to be petted by him.

He was a tired boy at the end of the day.

We have been trying to sell our Durango since last year. It has happened! We said goodbye to our Durango on June 12.

The couple who came over and looked at it. They tried to strike a deal for a lot lower than we wanted. They came back almost 3 weeks later and said they would take it for what we were asking for it. Yay!

It took almost a week for the bank to clear everything and on June 12 at 11:30 at night they came and got it. Why they had to get it on Friday instead of Saturday. Maybe because the wife really wanted it since it was to be her car. She was excited to finally get it.

I have mix feelings. I am happy because we are closer to getting out of debt. But sad because it was a good car. However it did need work and there was some rust starting. It was fun to drive though.

Father’s Day is next weekend on Sunday. Last month we invited the father’s to our place like it was a normal year. Of course my parents said yes right away. I said that I bet Jeff his parents will say no. He said he gave them 90% they would say no.

Guess what they said no.

I have to vent because I asked Jeff does that make you mad? He said not as mad as you get. I told him why it makes me mad.

Here is why: I remember Jeff’s mom Darlene. I loved her like my second mom. I remember she called, emailed or FB messenger us frequently. There wasn’t one week we didn’t hear from her.

After her passing then Ken got remarried. It has been distant Ville. We NEVER hear from him. It pisses me off because of what I stated about Darlene being in our lives. We don’t hear what he is doing or if they are okay or they got a new dog. WTF?!

I hate it! Just because he got married doesn’t mean he can throw away our relationships. I don’t understand. I don’t feel hurt, I feel very disappointed in him.

Jeff said that he never thought of it that way. I didn’t tell him to have him feel bad or feel the same. He said he understands now and he wanted to think on it.

In any case we are going to have a good Father’s day.

The tin is a sea shell and in the amethyst rocks are from my Grandpa on my dad’s side. The fools gold are Jeff’s. The orange rock is actually sort of shaped like a rock. Jeff got me that. The plastic fox is also from my Grandpa whom I am named after. His name was Daniel and I of course is Danielle. After he died I got this from him. The toy was inside of the shell container I don’t think anyone knew it was in there. It’s cool to have something from him. I remember him a little he died when I was a child.

These are from my Grandma on my dad’s side. Now I remember her she died when I was close to being a teenager. She got Alzheimer’s. I remember visiting at a nursery home. It was sad she didn’t remember my dad most of the time. After she died I got these two figurines. That’s why they are special I have something from her.

I bought these two in the 90’s at a Goodwill in Appleton. I simply thought they were cute.

I couldn’t believe about 2 months later I was in Green Bay at Saint Vincent De Paul. To find two more. And to have them be different and far apart from each other. What luck. They were meant to be mine!
