Fathers Day Weekend 2016

Azure went to Horse Camp this past week. Courtney Texted me a couple of Pictures.

Azure Sent me a nice card. I am glad she was able to go. I am glad she had fun.

Friday June 17th 2016.

Took a pic of my office on Friday

Yudi met Courtney at Starbucks around 4:30 P.M. I stopped by Scott Burkes house on the way home from work to listen to a song he had written.

On the way to the house I stopped at Lowes and bought some black “Steel Hardening” duct tape. It said on the label that it is 100 times stronger than duct tape. I used it to fix a leak in the shower in the barn. We had been doing some work to open up the bathroom in the barn for all the party guests that were coming on Saturday. I got home around 7:00 P.M. I went out and applied the fix to the pipe and let it dry until the next day. Then I weed wacked the yard.

The girls played tumbling and they played with their doll.

I worked on the songs that I wanted to play at the party. We went to sleep pretty early. We watched some of Home Alone I slept on the mattress between them.

I got up early on Saturday to try and get the yard ready for the party.

I made cereal for the girls.

Zarah apparently not ready for the day….

The Girls Played in the Basement After breakfast.

I Went outside and tore down all of the my gear and moved it out side. I ran a bunch of extension cords and set up a “cover” for the band. I set up the P.A. System

I was hot from working out in the backyard. It was in the high 80’s probably. I went in and asked the girls if they wanted to ride with me down to the Speedway gas station and get a Freezy. They said yes.

Roger and Dawn and Nik all came over and started getting ready for the Party. They brought in massive amounts of Food and Drink.

I worked on my computer que system for songs and changed the strings on my Strat

About 3:00 I heard the 3 girls playing lost boy in the basement and I suggested that all 3 of them do the song together. Deeya came down stairs and heard it and agreed.

Brown Eyed Girl.

I didn’t tune my guitar or do a sound level check before starting my “Set”. So afterwards, while sitting on the back deck I asked Deeya how it sounded. She said good. I didn’t realize but Zarah was standing right there and said to Deeya.” I have heard him play those songs a thousand times”….lol… Deeya said to me as a joke “Aren’t kids wonderful”….lol

The Party went on until Midnight. The girls played in the yard and did cartwheels and stuff until about 11:00. Deeya and Frank stayed outside hosting and helping breakdown the food and tables until about 1:30.

Azure and Zarah and I went downstairs. The girls finished “home alone” while I laid on the mattress between them. Azure actually fell to sleep instantly.

Sunday. June 19th

I woke up at 6:30 a.m. wide awake refreshed and happy. I let the girls sleep in for a couple more hours. I went to Wal-Mart and Deeya a Birthday card and some Flowers.

Frank had to go to work. I went outside and wound up all the extension cords and cables and stuff from the night before. I packed up the Keyboard that Deeya had rented from the Guitar Center.

I rode with Frank on his way to work. He dropped me off at Eslers in West-field to Pickup the CRV. I went back to the house and got Tools and a ladder. I needed to turn the water on at the lake house and also to take some awnings off the side of the house. The house is being painted tomorrow on Monday.

The Girls watched a Movie while I was working

Zarah Made PBJ Sandwiches for the 3 of them

When I got back the girls wanted me to help them make a baby crib for their dolls.

Then Azure, Zarah and went outside and opened my Fathers Day Gifts and Cards.

Deeya said that she wanted to take Brooklynn to get hers ears re-pierced around 4:30. She asked us if we wanted to go and then all go out to dinner for Fathers Day. Sounded good to me.

Deeya Brushed Zarahs Hair Before we left. ( you can’t see it though)

We went to Claires in Clay Terrace. Brooklynn got her ears re-pierced. Deeya let each of the girls pick something out. Azure got a Bracelet. Zarah got a Diary and Buku got a big stuffed animal.
