Rain

... once again.  But ... it meant I didn't have to get up early to water the garden as I had expected to have to do.  A wee bit soggy of a Father's Day!  We had a breakfast down at the local fire station served up by the Lions Club.  A good place to hang out with the whole family and friends.  Mr. Mac & our oldest son, Patrick, were supposed to attend a Spokane Indians (minor league) baseball game today .. but it got rained out.  Happy Father's Day to all of you dads!

What a nice father's day outing. You look Mah-va-lous!
No rain here yet...the weather people keep threatening, but nothing's happening!

Oh, your family looks so happy & so good together. :)

It has been so long since i've lived somewhere that summer rains were pleasant. I loved them as a child in Montana. In California, not so much. But then we don't get them often.

Glad you had a lovely day. :)
