It’s a dull day outside so we didn’t plan any outdoor events to celebrate Father’s Day. I spent most of the morning making a lemon pie for Pat’s dessert tonight. I still need to make the meringue but I’ll do that just before we go out for dinner. There is a small restaurant just down the hill from us; it isn’t fancy but we enjoy their food. They’ve just changed their menu so there are lots of new things for us to try, although their Fish and Chips are the best in town.

It may be Father’s Day but it feels more like Grandma’s Day to me. We have just arranged for Madison, Emma and Gavin to come back from Calgary with us and stay for a week. We are off to the Island then anyway so I will fly them home from Comox and come back on the same day, in time for the music festival on the Island and the little mini-vacation we planned around the festival. I’m so excited I probably won’t sleep tonight.

I haven’t got any stitching done yet today so I’ll try to calm myself down with this week’s Splendid Sampler block.
